Why this one
What makes Arabic Oud Incense Sticks different
Sized for the actual room
A majlis or hotel lobby defeats a 13 cm Japanese stick. 30 cm at 3 mm produces the output those spaces need.
Built for immediate presence
Sweeter and bolder than East Asian styles. Where koh evolves slowly, this arrives — which is what a large room needs.
Seasonal packaging capability
Ramadan and Eid runs on a 90-day lead time — the two dates that carry this category in the GCC.

There is no test-data table on this page, and that is deliberate. The figures that belong in one — moisture, dimensional tolerance, self-extinguish rate across a counted panel — need instruments we do not currently own or a panel we have not run, so we do not publish them. Everything above is a production fact rather than a measurement. Where a value needs independent confirmation — GC-MS on oil, flash point for the safety data sheet, material identity against LY/T 2904 — it is commissioned from an accredited laboratory and you receive their report rather than ours.

About this product
Arabic Oud Incense Sticks — detail
Arabic-format oud incense sticks exist because the rooms are different. A 13.5 cm Japanese koh stick is calibrated for a small domestic space and a listener sitting close to it. A majlis, a large family room or a hotel lobby simply defeats it. The GCC format answers that with length and diameter — 30 cm at 3.0 mm, burning 70 to 80 minutes and producing enough output to carry a space of roughly 60 square metres.
The scent architecture is also deliberately different. Where our koh line pursues subtlety and slow evolution, this blend is built for immediate presence: sweeter, bolder, resolving fast rather than unfolding. It is not a compromise version of the Japanese product; it is a different product for a different room.
Practical merchandising note: ash falls at roughly 30 mm on a stick this size. So a small plate holder will not contain it. Pair this SKU with a full-length boat or trail holder from our holders line, or expect complaints. Retailers who bundle the two together see both a higher basket and a lower complaint rate.
Seasonality dominates this market. Ramadan and Eid carry a disproportionate share of annual volume, and packaging for those periods needs a 90-day lead time to land on shelf in time. Plan orders backwards from the date rather than forwards from your current stock position.

Buyer Questions
Oud incense sticks — frequently asked questions
Why is this SKU higher smoke than your other lines?
Intentionally. Smoke carries scent volumetrically, and a large majlis or lobby needs volumetric output that a low-smoke formulation cannot deliver. If your customer is burning incense in a small apartment, sell them the low-smoke line instead — this SKU will overwhelm the space.
What holder should I bundle with these?
A full-length boat or trail holder, not a plate. Ash falls at roughly 30 mm on a 30 cm stick and a small plate will not contain it. This is the single most common complaint on long-format incense and it is entirely a holder-sizing problem.
Can you do Ramadan and Eid packaging?
Yes, on a 90-day lead time from artwork approval. Those two dates carry a disproportionate share of GCC annual volume, so plan the order backwards from the shelf date rather than forwards from your stock level.
