Looks like the picture
This benzoin looks and smells fantastic. What I received looks just like the picture - a few large pieces and alot of shake. I'm using it to make a benzoin tincture so the size of the pieces don't bother me, but it may be an issue for people using this as incense.

I need to use smaller pieces so it was annoying trying to break the bigger pieces
Comes in pure big chunks but I wish there was a crumbled option. I need to use smaller pieces so it was annoying trying to break the bigger pieces.

Questionable Quality!
Buyer beware !!! I cannot say if this is Benzoin of Sumatra for sure but it doesn't smell like others i bought from other vendors (not on Amazon). This smells like vanilla with a hint of roach spray; didn't have any of the complex clove-like smells that I'm familiar with in Benzoin of Sumatra. It took a while to get the return approved because its flammable, Amazon wouldnt permit but the vendor did. But I would have to cover return shipping, so tried it out despite my suspensions looking at it.The vendor responds to emails quickly and said there lots of types of this specific incense and says their product is "high quality." It doesn't smell high quality. It doesnt last and fades eventually, luckily. Also it didn't burn like high quality varieties because it left a marshmallow residue on the charcoal. In this product, the interior is chalky white but hard, carries the chalky vanilla smell and is a very different texture than the outer layer made of dark brown crystals, which smells like burnt bits when used without the white interior. The different textures were distinctive, on an outer layer and inner layer and didn't look natural.It was a large order and very cheap, but you get what you pay for I suppose.

Smaller pieces would be best
When I received two big chunks and I had to break it up before I was able to use it.

Excellent Quality
Has that hint of cinnamon that Sumatran Benzoin is known for. Glad I got it.

IT ACTUALLY SMELLS GOOD!!
I make incense blends professionally and it has been such a struggle to find benzoin that actually smells good! Previously it has always smelled awful. I have been on a search for some that smells like it is supposed to and this actually does. So happy!
