I purchased one of these for my partner. She absolutely loves it. These sticks are easy to burn and quickly fill the room with the lovely smell of a peat fire. I have no problem in recommending these to anyone who misses the smell of turf burning on an open fire

Having driven through Ireland on holidays every few years since 2001, I'm not sure anything else can transport you back in an instant like that smell.

I love this Incense! It’s a reassuring, homely scent that calms and Earths- a little piece of ancient Ireland in your home! It brings peace through its distinctive aroma. My ancestors were Irish and I feel closer to them when it’s smoke fills the air…..Lovely!
The turf incense is beautiful. So pleased with it. I gave some to my mum and it brought a tear to her eye. It’s amazing what feelings a scent can invoke. Also beautifully packaged and arrived on time.

Really smell of IRELAND
I saw this and knew I had to give it a go.
Having driven through Ireland on holidays every few years since 2001, I'm not sure anything else can transport you back in an instant like that smell.
I bought the little cottage and some extra peat and it didn't disappoint.
A brilliant idea. The little cottage looks great on the coffee table whether there's peat burning or not. Our little bit of Ireland (in Sheffield).
Unfortunately there wasn't that smell of turf that company say there is... all you get a strong smoke smell due to the condensed bit of turf
Hi Jason, Our product contains only 100% peat, and creates a smoke with only that scent, so your review is therefore confusing. I can only presume our product is working too well, and perhaps your memory of the smell of Turf is different? Thanks for your support.
Purchased slate and turf pack for 95year old dad who was reared on turf fires. He really enjoyed the trip down memory lane. Parcel arrived promptly and in good condition. Really recommend trying this.
A great unique product
I bought the turf incense logs and wasn’t disappointed. The smell of turf infused around my home brought lots of lovely familiar memories back of my childhood. Warmth but just in a smaller package. Thanks 🙏
Just wonderful Siobhan! Thank you!☺️
the incense sticks did not light and the chat gave no response. I will not be be be buying any more of this rif off product.
I'm sorry but I didn't like smelly it made me cough for most of the time it was on. I'm sure most people like it but definitely not for me.
Sorry to hear that Jeanette. You might be better suited to our Turf Candle which produces no smoke. But as you say, it is more your personal preference than a poor quality product.
I bought this as a present so haven't used it myself but my son in England will love it xx
It’s hard to describe the smell of Turf incense. Is so evocative and comforting. I have a fake wood burner so I put the I sense on there. It gives off the perfect smell.
Smells amazing!
Good
I tried it straight away and was very please, what a wonderful smell, will buy again.
We used this for the first time last night, and the smell was so lovely, it lingered till morning - it is perfect.
As the description says - couldn’t fault anything!
While not referencing Ireland (sorry) specifically in this review, I was looking to recreate the smells I experienced while touring the peat kilns at a whisky distillery on Islay in Scotland this past fall. They use peat fires to cold smoke the barley used in whisky making and the scent in those kilns is heavenly. This peat incense is remarkably similar to that and I am loving it! A helpful hint: I use a small butane torch lighter that I use to light cigars to light these sticks. Works perfect every time getting them easily lit!
Thanks Ryan!
So glad it helped bring a few memories back from Eire and beyond! Its a great accompaniment for a good Whiskey! You're very right there!!
Reminds me of holidays to Ireland when visiting my granny. Real nostalgia
Brilliant Michelle! Thank you! Great to have the precious memories! x
Smells just like a turf fire- reminds me of a walk in the park on a crisp autumn day when people have started lighting their fires for the start of the colder weather- perfect! Love it and have already purchased the refill pack days after the starter kit. Highly recommend and already have! :-D
Ah class Debbie!! My favourite time of the year too!! :)
Loved the smell. But did take a little while get it properly lit. Hasn’t put me off though, would buy again.
I found them hard to light, so I had to use the gas hob, but it was worth it for the smell
Not very strong smell.
Had a little trouble with delivery but as soon as I emailed about it another one was sent straight away and communication was great, I will definitely be ordering again and will 100% recommend, reminds me of my childhood x
I desperately wanted this to work but all I could smell was charcoal? Maybe I had a bad batch or something- either way I’m a little disappointed. Sorry 😔
Takes me back to going to Dublin as a child to visit my Mother's family.
Don't get it anymore when you visit but boy does this smell exactly like it!!
I spotted this on line. Having just got back from Northern Ireland I remembered this smell whilst there. So I bought a packet and it is exactly that “warm, cosy by the fireside smell. An excellent product
Thanks Roy!
Delighted to have you over to our Wee Country! And so glad you were able to recreate the experience and memories at home! 😊
Excellent qualities.
Full details
Handmade Irish Turf / Peat Incense.
Produced on our farmhouse in Silverbridge in the Heart of South Armagh, this irish turf incense set lets you recreate the smell of rural Ireland in your own home without even owning a fireplace!
With our incense turf sods placed on the slate burner and ignited, you will soon be transported back to the old Irish cottages, where warmth and cooking were provided by the open fire and sods of turf burning within.
This incense has been specially designed to be easy to ignite with a lasting smoulder that will fill the room with the distinctive smell of an open turf fire.
Each turf sod should burn for approx. 35-45 minutes.
Comes complete with reclaimed slate burner with pads to protect surfaces.
Includes 7x solid sods made to burn easily and slowly to fill your home with the original smell of an Irish cottage.
These incense sods are made to be exact miniature replicas of a real turf sod, sadly selling turf in Ireland to use as a fuel has been banned and this once distinct aroma smelled throughout the country will diminish over time.
Keep the scent and spirit alive in your own home with authentic Irish turf peat incense.
Slates are hand cut and vary slightly in size from 8cm - 10cm, or roughly the size of a credit card, each sod varies from 3cm - 5cm. They are natural products and will vary in size, shape and performance when burned.
Each small batch is made by hand and with love in County Armagh ❤️
We are now a proud partner of Reforest Nation! Actively replanting trees all across Ireland! 🌳
