The first impression
Packaging and contents
ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Product protection | Carton is sturdy, product sufficiently protected | 100 points |
| Sustainability Packaging | No unnecessary packaging waste, no use of plastic (climate-neutral packaging), difficult to open | 90 points |
| Package contents & scope | Incense resin (50 grams of incense from Ethiopia in the test) | 100 points |
| Instructions for use | On the Amazon page there is information in German | 80 points |
| Total | 93 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
The packaging of the incense is well thought out and designed to be climate-neutral, which shows an admirable commitment to sustainability. However, opening the packaging is a little awkward as the tear notch is too high up. The incense resin itself, a good 50 grams from Ethiopia, is well protected and shows Incensera’s focus on quality.

The appearance of the resin is appealing. However, the product has irregularities in the size and colour of the resin grains. The resin grains vary greatly in size and the colour is also not uniform. However, it should always be borne in mind that this is a natural product . Incensera is characterised by the use of Boswellia Papyrifera premium grade and underlines the naturalness of the product.
This is what our practical test showed
Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Fragrance intensity | Scent similar to sacred spaces but not as intense | 100 points |
| Smoke development | Smokes strongly, evenly for approx. 20 min. | 100 points |
| Purity and clarity | Different colour nuances of the resins, different grain sizes | 90 points |
| Aromatic properties | Balsamic woody note, slightly lemony, at first like in sacred spaces but not as strong | 100 points |
| Fragrance duration | Remains in the rooms for some time, depending on how large the room is | 90 points |
| Total | 96 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
In our practical test, we tested the incense for smoking from Incensera. The intensity of the fragrance, the smoke development, the purity of the resins, the aromatic nuances and the duration of the fragrance were the focus of our observations.
The intensity of the fragranceproved to be pleasant and subtle, comparable to a slight hint of sacred spaces, but without the overwhelming intensity.
The smoke production was remarkable – it was strong and constant, regardless of the amount of resin grains used. In our test environment, a small amount was enough to fill the room with a tantalising scent for around 20 to 30 minutes.
When testing the purity and clarity of the resins, we found differences in the colour nuances of the resins as well as in the grain size. These variations are characteristic of natural products and in some ways can even emphasise the authentic character of the frankincense.
The aromatic nuances of the incense were characterised by a balsamic, woody note, accompanied by a light citrus note. Overall, the fragrance was pleasant, although less intense than expected.
In terms of the duration of the fragrance, we found that it varied depending on the size of the room and the amount of resin grains used. It is difficult to give a fixed length of time as this depends heavily on individual conditions.
Overall, our practical test confirms that smoking with Incensera products is a pleasant experience. The intensity of the fragrance, the smoke development and the positive aromatic nuances emphasise the quality of the product. However, customers should be aware that the fragrance intensity is lower than in sacred spaces. The duration of the fragrance depends on individual factors and cannot be standardised.
Incensera offers four different incense resins in different pack sizes so that everyone can find “their” fragrance.
