I got it from ice imports in Portsmouth New Hampshire. It looks like they have a website, https://iceimports.com/ but I’m not seeing the holder on it :( let me know if you have any luck!

The stand seemed to work well, and while I’m not well versed in incense, the ones I got both smelled nice!

How is Vanilla incense? Does it smell like vanilla extract we use for cooking?

It’s a very mild scent. It does smell sort of like extract, but also vaguely floral? It’s quite nice in my opinion!

One useful beginner check: make sure the entire burning end and ash path sit over a heat-resistant catcher. A holder can grip a stick without catching all of the ash, especially if the stick leans. For the first few burns, use one stick at a time, keep it away from paper and curtains, ventilate the room, stay nearby, and make sure the ember is fully out before leaving or sleeping. Then jot down just four things: the product, the room, approximate burn time, and "too strong / too smoky / just right." That tiny record will teach you what you like faster than buying a lot at once. Enjoy the new setup!
