This is not one of Ansaam's "Galaxy" sticks - which are quite chunky; this is termed an "Incense Stick". Still quite thick, but not as monstrous as the "Galaxy". Quite a smoky and heady incense - not so much that you can't burn it indoors, but only for short periods - it serves best as an indoors smudge or as a garden stick.
The scent is pleasant without being special. It presents as fairly generic incense fragrance. Sweet, musky, woodsy, mostly dark base scents, though with enough playful top floral notes to keep the interest. The main points of interest with this incense is that it is made in Egypt, and the sticks are very long. But that second point, the length, I find an awkward distraction. And the headiness and smokiness is a tad too much even for me, and I love heady incense. So, the fragrance I like, but it's not quite special enough to overcome what for me are two obstacles to buying again - the awkward length (not easy to store, nor to burn indoors), and the assertiveness of the burn.
