Burn of the Day

[hedycent]

Not a fan of these holders. Scent sticks to the wood and to the cloth, and every stick used thereafter has their smell mixed with the smell of the wood & the cloth.

This is exactly what I’m talking about, it provides a shadow of past burns. I agree not a pure experience but as a stand alone scent it has its place for me. Much like the ambient aroma in a space where incense burns daily.
I can certainly see how some sticks should have a dedicated burner but I’m enjoying layering the afterburn . If it all gets too much then the cloth can be changed and the wood cleansed. Cant see myself doing it just yet though. It is like the patina of sent that builds up on the bramble root bowl of a Tabbaco(or whatever) pipe. Minus the acrid stale tabbaco , birch tar may be in the same culture but nowhere near as evolved.

Sinking wood from the Philippines that I got a few years back from @Habzoud
Still the best I’ve seen!! When we going to see more like this Habz , my stash is not getting any bigger the way I burn

Some sinking Vietnam to unwind. I’ve not smelled enough Vietnam tbh. So making the most of it while I have it.

Bhutanese juniper, followed by dr.incense’s pureland and then Ceylon X on the sub. Finishing with Kao Yai

Some Manipuri tiny bits - totalling under 5mm x 10mm. I still can't believe how little I need on a subitism heater to keep the room fragrant! Can't thank KZ enough.

Burning 白芨(Root of Chinese ground orchid) to see if I could use it in my incense blends.
it gives off a pleasant mild sweet scent that is close to baked flour.

On the internet, it says I should use 8-10% of this in composition but I don't think it has enough sticky property. 🤔
maybe I should keep experimenting with it.

Very interesting, are you experimenting with alternative binders?

Was that the juniper you were burning yesterday that my nose was selfishly stuck in for a while...😇
Cause was very nice indeed.

Bhutanese juniper powder, I got this batch from Incense traditions. Really beautiful stuff. If you burn the lighter of the 2 riwo sangcho sticks I gave you , you might notice the roll Bhutanese juniper plays in the blend.

yes, I'm trying to make my own binder recipes.

Burn of the night…
Come home from work, eat dinner,
heat agarwood, and relax.
Borneo slivers that fill my room with
lovely scent, makes my day complete.

Sounds like a good plan.
