It uses resin from sweetgum (liquidambar styraciflua), which is native to Turkey and South America. This incense has a deep, rich sweetness with a smoky, bark-like aroma. Each pack contains 10 sticks.

The Story of Storace (Sweetgum)

Storace (Styrax) is a resin extracted from the bark of sweetgum trees (liquidambar styraciflua) native to Turkey and the Americas. Its fragrance was used as medicine and incense in ancient Greece and Rome, and as church incense in medieval Europe. It is characterized by a deep sweetness reminiscent of vanilla combined with tree bark, and a subtly smoky texture that adds a sense of richness to any space.

Fragrance Profile

A layered fragrance with rich, vanilla-like sweetness, deep woody notes from tree bark, and a hint of smokiness. It has a warmth that evokes a room with a fireplace on a winter's night. This fragrance is suitable for the year-end and New Year holidays, meditation, and evening relaxation.

Ingredients: Himalayan Virgin Honey and Organic Certification

The Marco Polo Treasures series was developed by Fiore D'Oriente to revive natural honey incense in accordance with ancient Vedic traditions. Based on virgin honey collected from the Himalayas, resins, wood powder, vegetable oils, and herbs are hand-blended by artisans. It is a handmade incense that is the first in the world to obtain European organic certifications from ECOCERT and ICEA. No synthetic fragrances or chemicals are used.

How to Use

1. Light the coated end of the stick and allow the tip to glow red.
2. Gently blow out the flame and enjoy the fragrance of the rising smoke.
3. Place it in an incense holder, an incombustible container filled with sand or ash, or a smudge plate. Each stick burns for approximately 60-80 minutes.
