Incense of the Day

[Oudamberlove]

A real tough one is the Horyu and Kokonoe,
seemingly identical, and very difficult to smell the agarwood.

Classic Baiedo 🙂

Selfmade Sri Lanka Deer Musk Jasmine Sambac stick.

I’m hooked on this blend, and will try a little more musk with the next batch.

Kyukodo Murasakino

Kyukyodo Sho Bai Koh

Moderately priced,
but I feel that the agarwood inside is of a nice variety, speaking of nice agarwood…
I wish I had some of the Papua New Guinea
that Ken uses in his sticks…it’s precious🥰

Kida Jinseido Ikuhokoh

The use of Chenpi (orange peel)
is evident.
I’d say it makes the aroma interesting,
and the wheels in my head can see
other recipes using this ingredient.

Horizontal here, getting my ass kicked by the Moderna booster vaccine, a passable excuse to burn Emperor Li’s sleeping incense ( by dr.Incense) during the day

Quite a beautiful aroma, isn't it?
I get some pear scent when sniffing the sticks together but not so much when burning the stick. But it's almost as if the after-taste/effect of the pear is felt in the air when the stick is burning.

That'll be the nano bots....they do that...🤣
But seriously...recover soon....

Shunkohdo Ranjatai

Everytime I light it, I am reminded of how much I like it.

Not quite a “store house”, but I do have a little more than enough, especially considering that a little goes a long way.

Hello Brandon, I just found this being offered for $190, is that a fair price? From Japan incense …..

Homemade Mysore sandalwood.

70% non-sinking 50ish y.o sandalwood from @AbasFrag, 30% 楡根皮(skin of Japanese Elm tree root)
extruded in 1.5mm diameter. it came out quite nicely. though I didn't get them straight. 😗 making sticks straight is harder than I thought.

it gives off a strong sweet scent that I find quite pleasant. but it doesn't have enough milky scent.

I think I could use fewer binders next time.

You are uncovering another rabbit hole to enter..
Stop it.... 🤣

Dr. Incense Tarakan

What a dream it would be to have
some superb Tarakan agarwood.

For me, this stick solidified the habit to burn purely agarwood incense sticks,
although it does not take away
my love for blends.

Yamadamatsu Obai
peaceful forest scent. herbal, green, woody, sweet. not great, but enjoyable

Seijudo Kyara Seiran

It’s like a cross between
Seijudo Shiragiku
and Shoyeido Myo-ho.
