We are proud to offer this premium, hand-dipped incense with a nod to Michigan's great places and history.

The package art has been created by Mark Arminski, a local artist known for his work on concert posters and handbills. It evokes the psychedelic period of the 60s, when incense was in it's heyday.

Our incense has evolved to fit the 21st century lifestyle. The scents are bold and imaginative. Of course, we have the old standby's such as Nag Champa and Patchouli. But you'll be blown away by our Cheboygan Cinnamon Rolls and Ann Arbor Berry Bash, too.

Each package contains 8 sticks of a single, bold fragrance. Burn time is generally more than 60 minutes each.

Just out in time to celebrate Michigan's tourist season are Mackinack Lilac and Saugatuck Sands. We've also  introduced Downriver Rat Musk, which pays homage to a curious Michigan Lenten tradition.

Most residents of the Great Lake State know what a great summer destination Mackinac Island is. If you're a true Michigander you know that, whether you're talking about Mackinaw City or Mackinac Island, the pronunciation does not rhyme with Lilac. But did you know that Mackinac Island also hosts one of the biggest Lilac Festivals in the country every June? Ask for Mackinack Lilac by name, and we don't care how you pronounce it.

We're sorry to note that about the same time we introduced Saugatuck Sands, The National Trust for Historic Preservation was adding the Saugatuck Dunes to it's list of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. Chalk it up to overzealous developers who want to thumb their nose at zoning laws and build a 400 unit residential complex. We prefer dunes over dwellings.

Downriver Rat Musk: If you're Catholic and you grew up downriver you probably know that the Church looks the other way during Lent if you want to replace your Friday fish dinner with a heaping serving o' muskrat. Turns out early French missionaries figured if it swam, it must be fish. While it's uncertain if the Archdiocese ever gave formal dispensation, they do acknowledge that there is "a long- standing permission - dating back to our missionary origins" to eat muskrat on days of abstinence during Lent. Go muskrat.
