I thought of being something different and it served its purpose. Really Nice Gift!!I was not surprised by some of the bad reviews. My first reaction was negative, but it was because I didn't read the description carefully. When it didn't work like I thought, I emailed the seller and they responded immediately with helpful information.- You need a good quality tea light - the one that it comes with will barely produce a smell, or none at all.- There is zero smoke, so don't look for it.- The block will not dissolve/burn up/shrink. It gets really dark and hard when spent.- The smell fills my large front room with one burner, but it won't travel to other rooms like incense sticks/cones.- They sell blocks by themselves, so you don't have to buy a burner every time.- The scents are NOT made of a single scent. This has a blend of aromas that mix with white sage, which is the dominant scent. To me, it makes it a more complex aroma that I prefer for daily use. This is absolutely NOT a substitute for burning pure white sage. Buy a smudge stick or resin rolled natural incense stick if that's what you're looking for. The same goes for the Palo Santo.-It comes with 11 bricks (1 sample w/ each box of 9). I burn each block twice (one candle for each side).-The burning plate is uncoated brass, so it has slight discoloration, which increases with use. If you want shiny beautiful metal for a burner - brass is not it. You have to polish brass to make it like that - then you can't burn it.A majority of negative reviews on Amazon come from people who don't read the full description, are not well informed on the type of product they are getting, and/or have unrealistic expectations. At first I was shocked at how small it was - because I didn't bother to pull out a ruler to get an idea of the size. It is a little cheap burner - but it's only $15! I've never bought a small metal burner for less than $10, and it never came with incense. It is really cute, and comes with a wood coaster to protect your table top. They will exchange it if something isn't right. The more I use it, the more I prefer this over incense sticks (aside from a couple of my favorite sticks).Was hoping this rose would be strong and lasting. Would not recommendLove nag champaThis is WAY smaller than it appears in the pictures, which is fine, just a surprise. The incense doesn't smell anything like the Nag Champa sticks I have that I just love. I thought it was the same brand since the box looks so similar but I see now it is not because they are not identical. I think that is a misleading trick. The incense is VERY strong, perhaps too strong to use in a closed room which I am because of my cats. I am burning a sandalwood stick with it so it is better. I thought if they had sandalwood bricks I might get them, too, to use at the same time but it doesn't look like they do. I don't know if I will buy these again but I do like the burner a lot. I wonder if essential oil would be OK on it which is made by the company whose scent I like so much.Update: I have some sandalwood essential oil that I got at Walmart & put some of that on the brick. The scent was MUCH improved & closer to the Satya Sai Baba that I like so much. Maybe I will buy these again since I can fix the scent because I do like the concept of the bricks.It’s super cute and the design is cool however the scent was awful. Then when family members asked me what that smell was, I knew my thoughts of wet clothes that were in the wash for to long after you dry them was confirmed.Sorry, scent wasn’t for me.Scent bricks are pleasant, long lasting, and without smoke or residual ash. The burner is a pretty little thing, smaller than it looked in the photo but quite suited for brazing the incense. I particularly like how the dish seems to keep its copper color, and the black and gold bicoloration is a nice touch as well. A wooden coaster is included, and keeps the surface under the burner cool. I had to whittle the inner track a bit to get a perfect fit for my burner, but at the price I can do five minutes of work with an X-ACTO Knife and not complain.Some people have noted that the window in the side of the burner is inadequate for the insertion of a tea candle. This may be true, but the window is not intended to be used in this way. The window provides clearance for a lit match or long neck lighter so as to light the candle once it is installed inside the burner. That anyone would use their fingers to bully an actively burning candle through a hole of this shape and size seems to me to indicate a certain lack of intelligence or imagination - not a design flaw in the product.I really like the scent of the Nag Champa and the sample of the White Sage is also nice. It isn't as strong as I would prefer for the family room, but great for bedroom or bathroom. And it's nice to have the smell without the smoke. Didn't even know they had incense bricks until I found this. Very nice. Glad I purchased it.UPDATE.i brought this for myself on 18th may Its now 29th may 2021.As you can see from the pictures I just uploaded, This thing caught fire for absolutely NO reason, Im mortified.So, right now I cannot comment on anything as its a present for my sister in law who loves nag champa however, I can comment on the size, I knew it would be small, but not piddly, lets hope it does a decent job...... Will update come the month of April when its actually her birthday.I have put the box next to my cooker switch so it can give you an idea how small it is, bear In mind also that there is x2 boxes of scents ontop of the actual box with the fuser in.White sage smells amazing! Not tried the rest yet but bought more so to try different ones! No ash no smoke just gorgeous aroma! Just beautiful only just discovered it and so happy smells better than a joss stick! Fills the whole room with the aroma! The burners are cute too.Was so disappointed with this burner.Litrally looks like a re-used tin can.Seams dont match up, tree of life not central on the front. Gap at back not large enuff for candle. And its tiny!On the plus side, the sage bricks smell amazing and last for so long. Will be purchasing more of them. But think twice before ordering the holder.This is a great way to get the beautiful scent of nag champa without the 'smoke' from incense sticks. My husband isn't keen on me burning incense as he says it creates too much dust! They can be a bit messy as well, but these bricks are ideal as no smoke is emitted and they are so easy to use. You still get just the right amount of scent released. Will be buying more bricks from this seller. The burner itself is nice. The tree design is quite basic but still happy with it for the price.
