Pema of Tibet – Faircense – Lavendel

You can find the main article about the Faircense line here.
A pack of these Dry Masala incense sticks costs 4-5€, containing 10 sticks, which weigh about 10g and are 20cm long. The burning time is given as approx. 35 minutes.

According to a PDF on the Faircense website, these incense sticks contain: lavender oil and Maddipal resin (also spelled ‘Mattipal’).

Like Sandelholz [Sandalwood], Lavendel [Lavender] doesn’t really impress me. The scent is subtle to weak, and the actual aroma is not particularly pronounced. Essentially, it’s a not unpleasant smoky smell with a hint of a herbal-sweet aroma.
The sticks are about a year and a half old. Fresh, they may have smelled better, but one never knows how long the packs have been sitting in the shop or in storage anyway.

Provençal Lavender by Aromandise is far harder to find, but in my view, a better option.
Additionally, I recently tested samples of the Lavender sticks by Jallan, an unknown Indian brand, which impressed me.
