Multitrance Dry Cannabis & Coconut Incense Sticks, 6 Packs

Fresh, dry, and why every blend uses the dry one

Look at the range as a whole and a structure appears that no listing spells out.

Two of the scents model the plant on its own. Fresh Cannabis Leaves is the green, sappy, vegetal smell of living material, the smell of a plant you have just brushed past. Dry Cannabis Leaves is the other end of that: cured, herbal, hay-like and warmer, the smell of the same material once it has dried.

Then there are the blends, and this is the part worth noticing. Every one of them is built on the dry base. Dry Cannabis and Coconut. Dry Cannabis and Vanilla. Dry Cannabis and Blueberry. And so on. There is no fresh cannabis and coconut, or fresh cannabis and vanilla, anywhere in the range.

There is a straightforward reason for that. The dried, hay-like note is warm and sweetish and sits underneath something else comfortably. The fresh green note is sharp and vegetal and fights almost anything you put with it. Perfumers make this choice constantly, and the range has made it consistently, which is why the fresh version exists only on its own.

So if you have tried a cannabis incense before and found it too green or too sharp, a blended one on the dry base is the direction to go rather than a different fruit. And if the green note is exactly what you liked, the blends are not going to give it to you.

What coconut does to it

Coconut in incense is not the smell of a fresh coconut. It is the sweet, creamy, slightly buttery note you know from suncream and from confectionery, and it is one of the more assertive scents in perfumery because it is fatty rather than sharp.

Put that over a dried herbal base and you get the most contrasting pairing in this range. The coconut arrives first and reads sweet and warm. The hay-like cannabis note comes through underneath it and stays once the coconut has faded, which happens sooner because sweet top notes are lighter and burn off first.

The practical effect is that a stick changes as it goes. The first ten minutes lean coconut, the last ten lean herbal. People who like the blend tend to like exactly that, and people who do not usually wanted one or the other rather than a sequence.

It is also the least subtle scent in the range, which is worth knowing in a small room. Coconut carries. If you want something that sits quietly in the background, the vanilla blend or the plain dried scent will do that and this will not.

A pack of six is ninety sticks

This is one of the few products in our range where the pack quantity is confirmed rather than assumed, so the arithmetic is worth doing plainly.

Each pack holds fifteen sticks. Our supplier sells this line as six packs together, which is how it is listed and why the name says so. Six packs of fifteen is ninety sticks.

At roughly thirty to forty-five minutes of burn per stick, that is a considerable quantity of incense. For a shop counter, a market stall or somebody who burns incense daily it is a sensible way to buy. For someone who wants to try a cannabis-scented incense once, it is not, and we would rather say so than let ninety sticks of coconut arrive.

One practical consequence of buying in quantity: incense does not improve with keeping. The scent oils are volatile and a stick that has sat open for a year smells noticeably flatter than a fresh one. Keep the packs you are not using sealed, out of direct sun and away from heat, and they will hold their scent far longer than if you open all six at once.

Three different coconuts, and how to avoid the wrong one

If you go looking for this scent elsewhere, there is a trap worth knowing about.

Multitrance makes at least three separate coconut incenses. There is this one, Dry Cannabis and Coconut. There is a plain Coconut. And there is a Coconut Kush, which is strain-named rather than blend-named. They are three different products with three different pages, and a search for coconut incense at that manufacturer will land you on any of them.

Only the first is what we stock. If you have burned a Multitrance coconut incense before and want the same one again, check whether the name has dry cannabis in it, because the plain coconut has no herbal base underneath at all and the Kush version is built on a different scent profile again.

More generally, we stock nine of the twenty-four incenses the maker lists. The ones we do not carry include several strain-named scents and a few standalone fruit ones. If a specific scent is what you are after and it is not in the table above, we do not have it, and we would rather tell you that than have you order the nearest thing.

Burning them, and one sensible precaution

There is nothing complicated here, but a few practical points that no listing bothers with.

A stick needs something to hold it that catches the ash, since it burns from the tip down and drops as it goes. Light the tip, let it flame for a couple of seconds, then blow it out so it glows rather than burns. If it keeps flaming it will be gone in a few minutes rather than half an hour.

Scent throw depends far more on the room than on the stick. In a small closed room one stick is plenty and two is too many. In a larger or draughty space you will notice much less than you expect, and moving the holder away from a window does more than lighting a second stick.

The precaution, and it applies to all incense rather than to this one in particular: burning anything indoors produces smoke and fine particles. Ventilate the room during and after, do not burn it in an enclosed space with no airflow, and be considerate of anyone in the house who finds smoke difficult. That is ordinary common sense rather than a warning specific to this product, but it goes unmentioned on every incense listing we looked at.

Never leave a burning stick unattended, and keep it clear of curtains, paper and anything else that a dropped ember could reach.

Who should not buy this

If you want CBD, this is not a CBD product in any sense. It contains no cannabinoids at all and the scent is the entire proposition. Our CBD ranges are elsewhere on the site.

If you want to try one pack, ninety sticks is the wrong purchase. There is no way around it on this listing, because six packs is how our supplier sells the line.

If you found cannabis incense too sharp before, note that this is a blend on the dried base rather than the fresh one, which is milder. If you found it too sweet, this is the sweetest blend in the range and will not fix that.

If you are sensitive to smoke, or you share a small space with someone who is, incense of any kind is a poor fit and coconut is one of the more assertive scents here.

If you want the plain coconut incense with no herbal note underneath, that is a different Multitrance product and we do not stock it.

18+ only, as with everything we sell.
