Jallan – Lemongrass

I received these two sticks from Sascha, who ordered directly from Jallan via their Instagram. However, they now also have a webshop.

The sticks shown in the image below have a standard length of 8″ (approximately 20.5 cm), which at Jallan is only the sample size; regular Jallan sticks are extra-long at 12″ (about 30.5 cm) and burn for around one and a half hours.
There are two different packaging types, each including a matching holder: The round tubes contain 60 sticks, while the triangular ones hold 30.

I was only given the prices including shipping costs, meaning a single small pack would come to €20, while the large one with 60 sticks would be €25. However, if you order more, the price drops significantly—two small packs cost only €30, and two large ones €35.
Sascha paid under €40 and tried all the varieties.

Lemongrass unfortunately has the tendency to lose its aroma quickly, as its essential oil, like citrus scents in general, is highly volatile. The same applies to Lemongrass from Jallan. There’s no trace of the lemongrass scent left, only a subtle herbal aroma that likely comes from the blend of base ingredients.
It also has a peculiar, slightly sweet note, somewhat reminiscent of the toasted sweetness found in freshly baked bread.
Aside from that, these sticks mainly give off a smoky scent of burning plant material with a slightly ashy note.

Lemongrass may be good when fresh, but they definitely don’t keep for long.
