How to Store Incense Sticks, Cones & Resins

Do you love the smell of incense but find it difficult to keep your home or workplace smelling fresh?

Incense is a great way to add an aromatic touch to any space, but if not stored properly it can quickly become stale and unpleasant.

In this post, I will talk about how you can store your favourite types of incense in order for them to always be ready when needed!

How to Best Way To Store Incense – Incense Storage Tips

The best place to store incense is in a cool, dry cabinet that has good ventilation.
Avoid storing your incense anywhere where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or moisture for extended periods of time.
If you live in an especially humid climate it may help to keep the containers open slightly while they are stored so that air can circulate around them.
If you are storing incense in a cupboard, be sure to keep it away from any other items that have strong smells! This will help ensure the scent of your incense is not masked or altered by something else.
When choosing containers for your incense, look for ones with lids that can seal tightly but can still be opened easily.
While the ideal scenario is to store your incense in its original packaging, you can use any airtight container as long as it allows for some air circulation and easy access.
It’s also possible to keep things like cones or resin blocks inside zip-lock bags if they are stored properly. If you want something with a little more durability, you can buy boxes meant to store incense. Some of these include dividers so that each block or cone stays in place and doesn’t crumble.
Another great option is to simply get a traditional incense burner and keep your cones or resin blocks inside that. As long as they are kept somewhere safe it doesn’t matter what you use!
