How many minutes does each stick burn, and does burn time vary significantly between the three scents?

We don't publish a per-stick burn time, but as a guide, a standard incense stick of roughly this size burns 30–60 minutes. All three scents share the same sandalwood base and construction, so burn time shouldn't vary significantly between them — any difference would come down to oil loading rather than the fragrance itself.

Are the sticks solid sandalwood, or do they have a bamboo core coated with fragrance?

The details list 'Materials: Sandalwood' and don't mention bamboo, so these are sandalwood-based sticks scented with essential oils rather than bamboo-core dipped blanks. Whether the core is fully solid isn't specified, but there's no bamboo in the stated materials.

What's the stick length and thickness? I want to confirm they fit my brass holder's hole size.

Each stick is 210mm long (about 8.3 inches). The listing doesn't give the exact diameter, but the refill is designed to pair with any standard incense burner, and standard sticks of this type run roughly 2–3mm thick, so they should fit a typical brass holder.

Are the essential oils certified organic or wild-harvested? Which native Australian plant sources are used?

There's no organic or wild-harvested certification stated — the claim is 'all-natural ingredients' and 'free from synthetic fragrance.' The native Australian botanicals appear in the Blue Gum and Lemon Myrtle scent (eucalyptus and lemon myrtle); the other blends use conventional botanicals like cedar, geranium, lavandin, clary sage, chamomile, and spearmint.

Do the sticks contain paraffin, glue, or synthetic binders, or are they pressed from pure plant material?

No paraffin, glue, or synthetic binders appear in the ingredient list — it's natural essential oils on a sandalwood base, and the product is marketed as all-natural. The brand doesn't itemize the binder itself, so we can't fully verify there's no added natural gum or resin, but nothing synthetic is listed.

Once I open the envelope, how should I store the remaining sticks to keep them from absorbing moisture?

Keep the remaining sticks in an airtight container (a zip-lock bag or sealed glass jar) in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight and humidity. Adding a silica-gel sachet helps absorb moisture so the sticks stay dry and burn evenly.

Product Insights

Addition Studio's Incense Refill Envelope is a Melbourne-made, Leaping Bunny-certified refill of 15 sticks for 14 AUD, designed for consistent 30–60 minute burns when stored airtight. Its sandalwood base from mature heartwood—without bamboo core or synthetic binder—carries three scents: Cedarwood, Sage & Geranium for documented relaxation (cedrol lowers blood pressure), Blue Gum & Lemon Myrtle with eucalyptus for clearing and antimicrobial effect, and a citrus-basil option for balance. The all-natural, synthetic-fragrance-free claim is unaccompanied by organic or wild-harvested certification, and only the Blue Gum & Lemon Myrtle variant features Australian native botanicals. As a refill envelope, it presupposes an existing burner and holder, but the 210 x 50 x 8 mm pack fits standard holders, making it a low-cost, cruelty-free way to maintain a functional home fragrance ritual.

Deep Research

How the refill system and packaging reduce environmental impact

Addition Studio's entire range is approved under the Leaping Bunny program, a third-party standard that audits the entire supply chain for animal testing — a more rigorous cruelty-free credential than an uncertified label, and one that applies to every ingredient in these incense sticks.
From conception through to final production, the entire range is designed, developed and manufactured in Melbourne, Australia — a vertically integrated loop that sidesteps the outsourced, high-mileage supply chains typical of mass-market incense, much of which is made in India or Southeast Asia.

What Australian-made means for quality and native ingredients

Addition Studio's range is certified cruelty-free under the Leaping Bunny program, a standard that requires no animal testing at any stage of product development — providing a verified ethical guarantee beyond unregulated 'cruelty-free' claims.
Addition Studio was established in 2010 as a conscious company that merges refined design with wellness — the incense is an extension of this philosophy, positioned as part of a holistic ritual rather than a generic home fragrance.
Addition Studio intentionally formulates its incense with Australian native botanicals such as blue gum eucalyptus and lemon myrtle, creating a scent experience that is distinctly tied to the Australian landscape — a departure from the generic sandalwood-and-patchouli profiles common in imported sticks.
The entire Addition Studio range is designed, developed and manufactured in Melbourne, keeping production under Australian safety and labor standards and rooted in local craftsmanship rather than outsourced contract manufacturing.

Aromatherapeutic properties of the essential oil blends

Inhalation of cedarwood essential oil has been shown to reduce blood pressure and breathing rate in humans, while animal studies demonstrate that cedrol — the primary sedative sesquiterpene in cedarwood — prolongs sleep time and decreases motor activity; this translates directly to the grounding, calming character of the Cedarwood, Sage and Geranium incense, making it a strong choice for unwinding or pre‑sleep rituals.
Lemon myrtle essential oil is the purest known botanical source of citral (90–98%), which gives the Blue Gum and Lemon Myrtle incense its exceptionally clean, bright lemon aroma with natural antimicrobial and antifungal properties that help clear stale air — a functional aromatherapeutic lift beyond simple fragrance.
The blue gum eucalyptus component draws on a long history of use for easing headaches, sore throats, and sinus congestion, its sharp camphoraceous note making this blend the most invigorating of the three — ideal for when you need an olfactory reset that feels physically clearing as well as uplifting.

Why sandalwood makes a better incense base

Sandalwood's own resinous compounds function as a gentle binder, helping the stick cohere without leaning on synthetic glues, so the all-natural designation is less a marketing assertion and more a consequence of the material's innate cohesion.
The creamy, warm character of sandalwood naturally connects the bright citrus and herbal top notes in blends like Mandarin Lime and Basil, acting as an olfactory binder that prevents the essential oils from smelling disjointed — a neutral base would leave those notes to compete in isolation.
A sandalwood tree must mature 15 to 30 years before its heartwood develops santalol-rich oils — the molecule that gives sandalwood its warm, milky-sweet scent — meaning a sandalwood base is inherently a more complex and rounded aromatic than synthetic substitutes or immature wood powders could deliver.
Unlike woods that lose their scent quickly under flame, sandalwood's oils are exceptionally stable, so the fragrance unfolds in an even, sustained curve — no harsh tail or sudden drop-off — which makes the burn feel more like a controlled diffusion than a rapid flash.

Q&A

6 answered

How many minutes does each stick burn, and does burn time vary significantly between the three scents?: We don't publish a per-stick burn time, but as a guide, a standard incense stick of roughly this size burns 30–60 minutes [1]. All three scents share the same sandalwood base and construction, so burn time shouldn't vary significantly between them — any difference would come down to oil loading rather than the fragrance itself.
Are the sticks solid sandalwood, or do they have a bamboo core coated with fragrance?: The details list 'Materials: Sandalwood' and don't mention bamboo, so these are sandalwood-based sticks scented with essential oils rather than bamboo-core dipped blanks. Whether the core is fully solid isn't specified, but there's no bamboo in the stated materials.
What's the stick length and thickness? I want to confirm they fit my brass holder's hole size.: Each stick is 210mm long (about 8.3 inches). The listing doesn't give the exact diameter, but the refill is designed to pair with any standard incense burner, and standard sticks of this type run roughly 2–3mm thick, so they should fit a typical brass holder.
Are the essential oils certified organic or wild-harvested? Which native Australian plant sources are used?: There's no organic or wild-harvested certification stated — the claim is 'all-natural ingredients' and 'free from synthetic fragrance.' The native Australian botanicals appear in the Blue Gum and Lemon Myrtle scent (eucalyptus and lemon myrtle); the other blends use conventional botanicals like cedar, geranium, lavandin, clary sage, chamomile, and spearmint.
Do the sticks contain paraffin, glue, or synthetic binders, or are they pressed from pure plant material?: No paraffin, glue, or synthetic binders appear in the ingredient list — it's natural essential oils on a sandalwood base, and the product is marketed as all-natural. The brand doesn't itemize the binder itself, so we can't fully verify there's no added natural gum or resin, but nothing synthetic is listed.
Once I open the envelope, how should I store the remaining sticks to keep them from absorbing moisture?: Keep the remaining sticks in an airtight container (a zip-lock bag or sealed glass jar) in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight and humidity. Adding a silica-gel sachet helps absorb moisture so the sticks stay dry and burn evenly.
