Burn of the Day

[Mr.P]

Today I am burning a trail of sei-gen koh from kangiiten. This time I made the trail on a bed of pressed ash. It seems to be burning exceptionally well on that base.

I’m not sure what I think of this incense. A good thing about it is it seems very traditional and natural, doesn’t smell like it has any additives or essential oils to boost the scent. I don’t smell much in the way of resins and as a result, it is a very dry aroma if that makes any sense. It seems to be a mixture of spices, and perhaps some leafy material. I believe I’m getting whiffs of camphor, star anise. A little bit like a chai masala.

gentle, elegant, Luxurious scent with unique sweetness! multi layared phases.
the sourness, saltiness, bitterness and spice comes as you go up in heating temperature.

Today I am using the kangiiten stencil burner.

I put a thin layer of ash, a layer of makko on top of that, and a layer of CK powder/splinters to top it off. Layering like this is a great way to test simple combinations without having to commit to a specific blend.

You can also have the scent change over time with different materials, sprinkled on different parts of the incense trail.

The nice thing about the stencil burner is it gives you such flexibility, in terms of making and testing blends.

It’s a little bit finicky to set up, but generally works very well.

The ash bed is the perfect substrate to build on.

What is that instrument pedestal censer in your picture? Is that from Maunamoku? He has some wonderful iron work boxes..

I’m not sure what I think of this incense.

I'm impressed by the natural fixative abilities of the Kangiiten sei-gen koh, but not sure if I want my house to smell like this all the time. It's a very particular vibe that doesn't leave much room for other fragrances.

Today burning some Irian Jaya X from The Oud Lab. Perfumed, dark, very intense yet relaxing. Lots of resin coming out of this, and the smell lingers long after the wood is gone. The pieces from @AbuTominaga are so well cleaned and pleasing to look at, I feel bad breaking them up!
