Instructions
How do I use the incense?
Place the incense stick in an appropriate holder that can catch the ash and ensure safe burning.
Light the tip with a match or lighter, allowing it to catch fire. After a few seconds, gently blow out the flame, leaving the tip glowing. The incense stick will begin to release fragrant smoke.
Allow the incense to burn until it reaches your desired level of fragrance or until it is finished. The smoke will disperse throughout the room, creating a pleasant atmosphere.
How do I use the burner?
Add 3-5 drops of oudh oil into oil burner.
