"Hi! My name is Husam Iddin and on behalf of Expert Village, we are going to deal with shelf life of incense.

Now the less air that gets into the incense the longer the fragrance, the longer the life. You have some incense depending upon how much fragrance has been compounded on it would determine how long the fragrance. Now you have to look at sometimes you have glass and that will also preserve the life of your incense. On behalf of Expert Village, this is shelf life of your incense. "
