Product description
HEM Forest is a woody-scent incense stick built to bring the smell of a cool leafy forest indoors. Light one and the room fills with a fresh green woodland aroma: cedar and sandalwood woods layered over mossy, grassy, earthy notes. Each box holds 8 charcoal-dipped sticks, each about 9 inches long, and each stick burns for roughly 60 minutes. It is made in India by HEM and stocked at El Paso Smoke Shops, so you can pick up the whole box in town.
What HEM Forest smells like
Forest sits in the woody scent family. The aroma leads with cedar and sandalwood, the two woods that give it backbone, then opens into cool, mossy, grassy, earthy notes that read like walking through a shaded stand of trees after rain. It is green and outdoorsy rather than sweet or floral, which makes it a natural pick for Guests who want a room to smell clean, calm, and a little wild instead of perfumey. The name is descriptive: HEM built the blend to evoke a forest, and the woody-mossy layering is what carries that idea.
The form: charcoal-dipped sticks
These are dipped sticks, the classic HEM style. A bamboo core stick is coated with a scented paste of aromatic woods, resins, herbal binders, and fragrance and essential oils, then dipped over a charcoal base so it lights easily and burns evenly. The full ingredient list is not printed on the box, so we describe it plainly rather than claiming an exact recipe. Dipped charcoal sticks like these light fast and throw a steady, generous amount of scent, which is what makes HEM a go-to for scenting a whole room.
How to burn it
Light the coated tip of one stick, let the flame catch for a few seconds, then gently blow it out so the ember glows and releases scent. Rest the stick in an incense holder or ash catcher on a heat-safe surface, angled so the ash falls into the tray. One HEM Forest stick burns for about 60 minutes, so a single stick will scent a room for roughly an hour. Burn it in a ventilated space, keep it well away from curtains, paper, and anything flammable, and never leave a lit stick unattended. Many Guests light one to set a calm, woodsy ambiance for reading, yoga, or meditation, purely as room scent.
What comes in the box and where it is made
Each cardboard box contains 8 Forest sticks at a 15g net weight, with sticks about 9 inches long and roughly 2mm thick on a bamboo core. HEM is one of the largest and most recognized incense houses, and Forest is made in India, where HEM has produced incense for decades. El Paso Smoke Shops stocks it as part of our incense wall alongside other HEM and masala scents.
