Around the fire they gathered, as they tossed in twigs, branches and leaves, the people would watch the smoke rise to the sky, where some imagined their gods resided.  This rising smoke became a kind of fragrant communication between the people and their gods.  With the smoke, the people sent their prayers, offerings and wishes."

We at Crystal Mountain have been making our own incense for more than 15 years.  We use our Crystal Mountain oils, which are the best oils around. We start with 400-500 sticks at a time, and use up to 8 ounces of pure uncut essential or fragrance oils, mixed with a botanical solvent that allows the heavy oils to penetrate into the woods of the unscented punk.  We soak the sticks for hours, and they are stored in the oil mixture until someone places an order.  We then package them and immediately ship them, often still wet in the oil. We use no preservatives on our sticks, but since they are stored in the oil, often for several weeks, they continue to soak and soak and soak.  They have been know to still smell distinctly 3 months after having been packaged and taken home.  You can pull one from your zip-lock bag and lay it on a piece of newspaper and scent your room for at least a day before even burning it.  The fragrance is that good!  We have been told we make the best incense anywhere, and by the constant return of customers year after year, telling us "We wait all year to come to this show and get our yearly supply of incense from you guys!", we are beginning to believe them!
