Sounds like you might’ve gotten a counterfeit. This can happen even if you buy from Amazon, because they commingle 3rd party goods and their own. I ordered some incense samplers, and some of them were clearly fake. Who would fake something so cheap? At this point it seems almost anything is a candidate. Amazon feels like a gamble every time you buy now.

Got a batch of incense that didn't pass QA? I buy it from you for pennies (or free), fabricate brand-name packaging, sell for full retail price. No risk, all reward. It's not like traditional counterfeiting-- you don't set out looking to make knockoff Band-Aids like you would a designer handbag. This stuff just falls into peoples' laps. Selling counterfeit product is more rewarding than throwing it away.
