Royal green hojari frankincense

my burner's temperature range is 50 to 330 celsius. from my experience so far, 210 to 230 celsius is optimal for this resin.
all the sweet juices oozing out from resins on this temperature range without offputting odor.
Edit: corrected burners capable temperature range
Hi, on the product page for the heater it says it is made for 220 volts, d0es the one you have work off of 110 volts also?
 
Lit Kyukyodo Murasakino incense stick
I’m tossed about by the agarwood, ambergris, musk, and floral-ish notes.
I don’t know if there is natural ambergris and deer musk used, nor if there is onycha.........
or is there plant based musk?

Either way..... it’s enjoyable
..........I just wish I knew exactly what is in it:Geek:
 
Major oud oil swipe day for me,
but to top it all off,
a major burn session as well.

I am sampling 2 Philippine chips, 2 Lawas chips, the difference being the chip grade, not profile.
Plus a big Sarawak chunk.

The Philippine chips have a profile I haven’t experienced yet. It sort of smells like a cross between Hainan and Malaysia. They appear very Filipino under 10x magnification, but have a regional difference from what I’ve tried before. Performance is good, but I prefer Habz’s sinkers better.
The Lawas chips have a very beautiful and perfumey top note, but when I turn up the heat, they turn acrid rather quickly. Quite resinous though.
The big Sarawak chunk appeared to have no resination, and had practically no smell either.

After those five, I went full bore with some big slivers of Habz’s sinking Filipino for a fumigation blast:Thumbsup:

Then I compared Kevin’s Hainan incense sticks to Wu Shuang Ge. Kevin’s doesn’t even come close🙁
Then lit some Dr. Incense Sri Lanka.

The thing I noticed with sticks, some of the resin is pushed by the heat to the portion of the stick not yet burnt, and some is combusted at the lit tip. So you don’t get the smoldering resin note till you get to the end of the stick. But when you heat a chip or sliver, especially at higher temperatures, you get a lot of reheated smoldering resin notes, which are mostly quite acrid. That’s why I light incense more often than I fumigate on a heater. If designed (mixed) properly, an incense stick can deliver a very exacting result to extract the best aroma from a beautiful smelling agarwood.
