Citronella incense sticks, a fresh green aroma for summer evenings
Citronella is one of the most recognisable summer aromas, quietly present at evening garden dinners, relaxed terrace hours and open-window nights. The Stamford premium citronella incense brings the fresh, lightly citrusy-green aroma of this Asian grass into an easy-to-use, hand-rolled stick. It suits not only indoors, but also covered, airy terraces where a small group enjoys the evening.
Technical specs
- Pack size: 20 hand-rolled sticks per box
- Length: around 24 cm per stick
- Composition: plant resins, citronella essential oil, wood powders
- Burn time: about 30 minutes per stick
- Scent profile: fresh, citrusy-green, lightly spicy
How to use
Place the stick in a stable ash-catch holder. On a terrace use a heat-safe, wind-sheltered surface like a ceramic or metal plate. Light the tip for 3-4 seconds, then blow the flame out so only a glowing ember remains. Avoid placing it near open flames, curtains or paper.
Why this citronella blend
Citronella is a natural companion of outdoor time from spring to autumn. This Stamford blend sits in a pleasant middle ground between very perfumed and aggressively scented versions: fresh, not tiring, and interesting even across a full 30 minute burn. Families with terraces and people on boats particularly enjoy it with a glass of wine.
Care tips
- Pair it with a bowl of fresh fruit and a cold drink for a calm evening mood.
- Avoid outdoor use in windy conditions, as the stick burns unevenly.
- Store the box sealed in a cool place so the oils stay fresh across seasons.
