Multitrance Cannabis Incense Sticks, Dry Cannabis and Bubblegum, Chocolate, Mango or Strawberry, 6 Packs

Four sweet scents, and three of them are the end of a line

Bubblegum, Chocolate and Mango are tagged discontinued by our distributor and no longer appear in the maker's own Multitrance-branded incense range, so what is on this listing is what remains, while Strawberry is still a current line.

We would rather tell you this at the top than have you find out when a scent disappears. Our distributor's feed carries a discontinued tag on the Bubblegum, Chocolate and Mango lines in this listing; our site strips that tag from the name so the product does not get renamed mid-life, but the fact stands. The maker's own website tells the same story from the other end. Its Multitrance-branded Cannabis Incense Sticks category currently lists Blueberry, Chocolate, Cookies, Dry Leaves, Fresh Leaves and Nag Champa, and the sweet scents that are missing from that list, Bubblegum, Mango and Strawberry, now live under its HaZe Holland label as Bubblegum XL, Mango Kush and Strawberry Haze.

So three of the four scents here are end-of-line stock of the Multitrance-branded version, and when they are gone the HaZe equivalent is the replacement. We stock the HaZe cannabis incense six-pack with Bubblegum XL, Chocolate Kush and Mango Kush among its scents, and that page explains how the HaZe line differs in construction and origin. Strawberry has no HaZe version on our shelf yet.

Everything else about the sticks is the range standard that the other Multitrance incense pages on this site have already covered: fifteen sticks to a pack, a burn of thirty to forty-five minutes each, a bamboo core coated in scented paste, and a six-pack that is six boxes of a single scent rather than a mixed selection. Pick the scent in the box below and the basket switches to it.

What each of the four smells like against the dry-leaf base

All four sit a sweet accord on top of the same earthy, hay-like dry cannabis note, and they differ in how loud the sweetness is: Bubblegum is the loudest, Strawberry the softest, Chocolate the warmest and Mango the brightest.

The base is the same stick as the plain Dry Cannabis Leaves incense: a dry, herbal, slightly hay-like green note with a resinous edge once it is burning, which is what a cannabis-scented incense means in practice. Each of the four scents here adds a confectionery accord over it. None contains the thing it is named after; there is no fruit, no cocoa and no sugar in an incense stick, and our Blueberry page explains why fruit is the hardest note of all to put in one. What follows is how each reads in a room, described from the accords these scents are built on rather than from the maker's copy, which says only that each is a fragrance twist.

Bubblegum is the loudest of the four. It is the pink, slightly powdery, fruit-and-vanilla sweetness of the sweet itself, and it sits on top of the green base rather than blending with it, so you get sweet shop first and cannabis second. Chocolate is the warmest and the one that blends best: a cocoa and vanilla accord has a dry, roasted edge that meets the earthy base halfway, so the room reads as warm and smoky rather than sweet. Mango is the brightest, a sharp tropical top note that lifts the green base and reads as the freshest of the four while it burns. Strawberry is the softest, a jammy red-fruit sweetness that fades quickest into the base; it is the one to choose if you want the cannabis note to lead.

One retailer's description of the Bubblegum stick describes dry cannabis leaves with a fresh strawberry scent, which is a template error carried over from the Strawberry listing. The four are distinct scents, and the descriptions above are our reading of the accords, not any seller's.

Made in India, or made in the EU? Three sources, two answers

The maker and our distributor say these Multitrance-branded sticks are handcrafted in India, one European retailer says they are handcrafted in the EU, and the maker's HaZe line is documented as EU-made, so the honest position is that the origin of this line is stated two ways and we have not resolved it.

This is a small thing that no page selling the sticks addresses, and it matters because the two origins mean two different products. Hand-rolled Indian incense is the masala style, a thicker paste on a bamboo core with a denser, smokier burn. European machine-made incense is thinner, more consistent and cleaner burning. Our HaZe incense page goes through that difference properly, because the HaZe line is documented as produced in the European Union.

For the Multitrance-branded line on this page, our distributor's copy says fifteen handcrafted sticks made in India using traditional methods, and the maker's own product page for the Chocolate scent says made in India. A Maltese retailer selling the Bubblegum stick says handcrafted in the European Union according to traditional customs. Two of three sources say India, so India is the better-supported answer, and it fits the hand-rolled description. But we have not had the box in front of us to read the origin line, and the one retailer that disagrees may simply have copied the HaZe wording. We will correct this section the day we have read a box.

Which sweet scent for which room

Sweet incense cloys faster than woody or plant scents, so the louder the scent the larger and better ventilated the room should be, which puts Bubblegum in the biggest room and Strawberry in the smallest.

A dry cannabis base on its own is a forgiving scent; it is green and quiet and suits a small room. Add sugar and it stops being forgiving. A sweet accord burning for forty minutes in a closed bedroom will be the only thing you can smell by the end, and the pink bubblegum note in particular is one that people either love or want out of the house. The sensible rule is to match loudness to space: Bubblegum and Mango in a living room with a window open, Chocolate in a hallway or a larger kitchen where its warmth has room to spread, Strawberry wherever the space is small and you want the green note to stay in charge.

Burn one stick, not two. Fifteen sticks a pack and ninety a six-pack is a lot of incense, and the temptation with a scent you like is to light a second; with a sweet stick that doubles the sugar, not the pleasure. Our Cookies page covers how to burn a stick without making a mess of it, and the coconut page covers storing the rest so they do not lose their scent.

No cannabis, no CBD, no THC, and what the law has to say

An incense stick is scented wood paste on a bamboo core and contains no cannabinoid of any kind, so the UK 1mg controlled-cannabinoid test has nothing to measure and the product is a room fragrance sold to adults.

We say this on every incense page because the mislabel is everywhere, including in our own generated catalogue line, which calls these a CBD accessory. They are not. Several retailers list the range as CBD incense, and one European wholesaler adds a without-THC note to its listing, which is true in the way that a candle is without THC. Our Blueberry page tracks how far that mislabel has spread. Nor is this the herbal incense that was banned under the Psychoactive Substances Act, which was a smoking product carrying synthetic cannabinoids; our HaZe page explains the distinction. These are lit, placed in a holder, and left to burn in a ventilated room, and that is the whole of their use.
