Burn of the Day

1970’s sinking Tarakan -Yusa Aromatics
This wood is so dense and hard like a stone.
Mint,vanilla and loads of Oud , delicious 🤤

Check out these pretty, light-coloured pieces. At first they come across very subtle, with hints of jungle greenery. I practically forgot I was heating them and left the room. Then, when I came in, I realised - wow, they actually do a really good job of perfuming the space. Elegant, subtle fruits and greenness. Only 30usd for 10g. Good value.

After that, I put on the last of my spent pieces of Terengganu Ant Nest (Yusa) - chopped up finely into powdery flakes to squeeze the last of the scent out of them - likewise doing a great job of scenting my room.

Lit a little Palo Santo for a change of pace today. Translated from Spanish as "sacred wood", Bursera Graveolens has been burned ritualistically by inhabitants in the Yucatan peninsula for centuries. It is part of the Burseraceae family, which includes trees that produce frankincense and myrrh. The tree is widely used in ritual purification and as a traditional remedy for various ailments, such as stomach aches, and as a sudorific and liniment for rheumatism.

This stuff is fascinating to me - I need to learn more. I wonder if I can get it in London somewhere.

Honey oudy fruity floral,
also, a candy vibe.

With more heat,
buckets of resin,
and a touch of incense.

Slightly difficult to get burning since the resin/oil content is so high, but otherwise really high quality. Similar to the Hong Kong sticks from Kangiiten/KyaraZen, if not a bit better.

Infatuated with the Khao Yai reds from YUSA AROMATICS. To make it last I am stretching it, by sprinkling it on the fabled and stunning Pursat from MESOUD. °* ੈ‧₊˚༺♥༻°* ੈ‧₊˚･:*:｡･:*:･ﾟ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

Shoyeido agarwood for Kodutu

These little pieces put out a lot of smoke when heated, high oleoresin I guess.

Good performance too, with pleasant notes through a wide range of heat.

Massive heating again!

Neriko Incense
Agarwood | Sandalwood | Agarwood Oil | Sandalwood Oil | Mastic | Hojari | Rose Oil | Musk Ambergris Sandal Maceration | Kashmiri Saffron | Herat Saffron | Honey (Harvested from Sugarcane Field)

It is 17 months old, and now its fumes and scent trail reflect synchronicity of all ingredients. I love the heaviness infused by Honey.

Purple Kyara Chips from KyaraShrine on Etsy

These are lovely… Obviously cultivated, so filled with resin that when I heat them on low heat by the time I’m done the chip looks like Onyx or obsidian.

I always like asking my wife her impressions (to the point of borderline, annoying her now), and this one actually surprised me: her first thought was “chocolate milk” !!

I get a sweetness and a tinge of spiciness

Sometimes it's just crap wood. When buying outside of the forum, without having tried a sample first, it will always be a gamble.

Thanks for the advice!

That’s what I am burning right now, it’s one single piece and I got it from Habzoud (I think 4 years ago) , what a quality?
Just touching it and you got your hands scented.

I want this! @Habzoud do u have anything similar to this?

Gyokushodo #422 Vietnamese Kizami

A mixed batch of tiny pieces,
so I’m getting a lot of different notes,
all lovely😉

Kangiiten - Sulawesi powder. Still going on the same pinch. Pushing it up into the 200 + degree range is really making it sing quite beautifully. No signs of slowing down yet.

Yamadamatsu SS Aloeswood Kowari

Today’s piece smells like a floral Papua, with hints of Merauke.


Followed by Habzoud Sinking Sri Lanka
on high heat for some fumigation.
