Burn of the Day

Nippon Kodo Sizuro Vietnamese

Reminds me a bit of Japanese incense,
I guess because Vietnamese agarwood is often used in the recipes.

Toc Bong - Kangiiten. I've been reaching soaring new heights of olfactory wonder with this tiny speck of wood dust. Hitting a whole range of brand new and yet somehow familiar notes. There's something very raw and animalic about it? Can you get animalic notes from wood? I feel like I am?

Kangiiten - Tarakan Beccariana (chips). Taking a bit to heat these up. You never really know just where the temp needs to be to break that resin out initially. That's half the fun.

[Joe]

Shoyeido Matsu Square

A good one today😊

They’re hard to find in the US now, even japanincense still lists them but they’re out of stock. Not sure how that happens. So I bought the last two envelopes for my work.

 

[Mr.P]

I had forgotten about these, got them a few (?) decades ago from a Japanese/Asian arts gallery and Emporium in Portland. I believe it was around 2001/2002 because at that time I was living close to the shop where I bought it. Pretty high-end place actually, they had very expensive furniture and antiques most of which was well out of my range as a classroom teacher but they also had all kinds of little things that were fun to collect and comparativelycaffordable like odd boxes of Japanese incense, incense burners, boxes, etc.. I don't know what it says but it came in a set with some other sticks and one of them was quite rich and sinensis / kyara-like. Anybody recognize this or able to translate it? Burning a small stub right now, sweet and ambery with some benzoin and sweet aloeswood aroma.
