- Amber.
- Primo Amber Incense releases a fragrance into the atmosphere that is relaxing, like nature, and sweet. Amber is a resin that when fossilized can be used as a gem or when ground up is used in medicines and incense. Totally organic amber comes from extinct trees that fell down 10 – 100 million years ago and were then covered with sediment. Amber’s value has been known since 11,000 BCE, where it was discovered in an English archeological site.
- Frankincense.
- Frankincense has been a valued and sacred material since ancient times. It is one of the gifts the Magi gave to the infant Jesus in Bethlehem. Religious ceremonies in Eastern and Western traditions still use Frankincense. It is one of the most highly valued resins of the ancient world. Primo Frankincense Incense Sticks represent the best in Frankincense Incense. The scent of this incense is said to clear the mind and help with inner concentration.

- Patchouli.
- Primo Patchouli Incense Sticks have that wonderful Patchouli fragrance of course. However, there is an additional benefit from Primo Patchouli Incense – they apparently prevent bed bugs from making your bed (or clothes or other furniture) their home. From Southeast Asia comes the small Pogostemon cablin bush whose leaves give us Patchouli essential oil. In the East dried patchouli leaves are placed between linens to keep bed bugs away as well as being used in sachets and potpourris. These Primo Patchouli Incense Sticks can be placed under your linens, pillow, in your closet – wherever, to keep those bed bugs away.

- Sandalwood.
- Primo Sandalwood Incense Sticks are extremely powerful and beneficial. The Santalum album is an evergreen tree whose wood provides the sandalwood fragrance. In ancient India, in the scriptural Vedas, you find Sandalwood used as a salve or unguent. This small sandal tree is said to be one of the strongest scented plants on earth. Sandalwood is often referred to as the “King of Scents.”
- Vanilla.
- Primo Vanilla Incense Sticks may look simple, representing one of the world’s favorite aromas and tastes. But vanilla harvesting is anything but simple! The vanilla vine is a native of Central America where it grows to 82 feet tall! The vine’s immature fruit is picked, cured, fermented, and dried to create the familiar brown vanilla bean. A resinoid is extracted from the dried beans and used as a flavoring agent in tobacco products and food. The vanilla aroma is a richly spicy and herbal wood.
