Incense of the Day

[Oudamberlove]

Ken’s Kalimantan

It has some fruitiness
and a touch of Play-Doh😊

 

[Proust Madeleine]

Took Ken’s Tarankan and Pursat incenses out for a spin today. I probably prefer KZ’s Tarankan for its bolder character. And I quite like the Pursat stick from Ken but Doc I had that wonderful sinking Cambodian with a bit of Kinam and it’s wonderful if you put it in a censor.

However I also tried Ken’s Sweet Lace (Mysore plus Timor Oud and bee propolis) and THAT one is a perfectly blended stick. He’s really something special with the blends.

An Ouddict told me that Shunkohdo Ranjatai smells similar to KZ’s Eight
Milleniums, at first I didn’t remember it to be so, but after trying to jog my memory,
I do see how very similar they are.
Good call bro!

Ken’s Merauke
Plenty of antique wood vibe
with a smooth delivery.
…..followed by Dr.’s Cambodi
Popping with fruits in contrast
to the Merauke stick.

Tennendo Karafune Johin

Packed with Costus Root
not quite animalic……
but close, more like fur.

Burning Dr.Incense's Processed Philippines.
lovely sweetness of honey and agarwood is homogeneously blended together.
tasty florals of Philippines terroir are well preserved here.

This is probably one of my favorite pure sticks from Doc I. I accidentally ordered more than I meant to and I’m glad I did.

Homemade Vietnamese simultaneously
with NK Kyara Heian.

The scents are compatible and filled my room quickly. ❤️

Dr. Incense Sri Lanka

It’s so close to the smell of heating
Walla Patta slivers.
I’d guess Adams Peak not Sinharaja.

 

[Oudamberlove]

Shunkohdo Kyara Seikan

It’s like an Artisanally made stick,
satisfying for my taste.

Where did you purchase the supplies for incense making? Especially the extruder and the drying net with wood planks.

Kohgen Jinkai

Nice and fruity, with a tiny bit of perfume.

 

[zahir]

Minorein Fu-In Sandalwood, Aloeswood, Frankincense and Kyara. All have this perfumic wet earth aroma which is indeed quite unique. Other part of the aroma is from the actual natural wood/resin itself. Sandalwood is very soft, agarwood is delicious, frankincense is more citrusy and kyara is some combustible wood.

Baieido's Tokusen Shukokohku

Agarwood, star anise, sandalwood, clove, borneol, patchouli, something musky... probably onycha.
there are more but I can't discern them.

sweet, salty, bitter, sour, umami.

a lot of ingredients in this incense are used in many Asian cuisines as well, so it's quite savoring.
very intriguing blend it is...

 

[Bilal]

Nokiba (Moss Garden) by Shoyeido

Thought this would pair well with my SOTD (AG by Bogue), but its too sweet and not very green.

It's pleasant enough for the price, but not what I was looking for today so using it to scent my hallway instead.

Will burn something a little more refreshing later in the evening.

Dr. Incense Tarakan
It’s like a cousin of Kalimantan.
I like the oudiness.

 

[zahir]

Minorein Fu-In Aloeswood
Minorein Fu-In Kyara
Minorein Fu-In Kyara Chokoh No. 5
Minorein Fu-In Kyara Ryugen

Burning one inch at a time. All of them lack the complexity and depth of high quality agarwood. But all of them are pleasant in their own ways. And as is usually the case with me, I can't decide which one I like the most...

 

[Oudamberlove]

Homemade stick
Sandalwood•Rose•Deer Musk
I call these ingredients
the Synergistic Trio.
I used yellow meat sandalwood,
next batch I will try red meat.
❤️❤️❤️

Baieido Koh En
I ❤️ this blend using Hakusui
Vietnamese agarwood.

Baieido has other Vietnamese
agarwoods:
Ogurayama and Tsukigase,
I wonder what regions they all are from🧐
