Incense of the Day

[Mr.P]

I used to burn a fair amount of that. Seems like it has a lot of benzoin in it. There’s a very sweet quality if I remember correctly.

How does one know when a kangiiten drop is coming?

Burning some Doc I Rejuvenate Spirit sinking today. Need some rejuvenation after missing out on the Ceram incense from Kzen through Kangiiten. Ugh.. set an alarm and everything. If anyone wants to share/swap for some other Kzen/Doc I hit me up please.

Ok… I am unsure how this is possible, but Ken C. From craft incense has captured the scent of fermentation in an incense stick with this Laos soil. I am shocked. It’s really something— just wow..

This evening I burnt one ‘Green Kynam Super’ stick from Kangiiten for the first time. I don’t have experience with Japanese incense, but they were nice, a typical cultivated Kinam profile.
They have left the room smelling like slightly vanillic resin. Had anyone tried these? How do you rate them as an economical stick?

Also, at the same time I purchased Prof. Incense - Fusen Red Soil Agarwood sticks 5g. I’m yet to try these out, again does anyone here have experience with these? Are they good quality?

I’ve heated lots of Agarwood chips from various sellers & Skin Kyara from Kangiiten, but tonight is my first time burning sticks believe it or not!

Also, I’m waiting upon some sticks from RPP, I’m curious to see how they compare in quality.

 

[PersonelHigh]

I have to echo the Laos Soil sticks by Ken are stellar. I could swear I noted a deft sprinkle of spice. But no I checked. They twinkle and recede.

Seijudo Shiragiku crushed and heated.

It’s as if I’m heating a piece of fruity agarwood.

I burned some of the powder that comes with the kangiiten trigram burner. Very nice medicinal herbal blend.

 

[Oudamberlove]

Dr. Incense Hong Kong crushed and heated

Smells similar to Hainan Char on the heater.

Side note, I noticed when I heat certain sticks, they release more smoke vapors, but not from combustion, which leads me to believe that they use oils in their recipes, Shokaku and Gaho to name a couple.

 

[Mr.P]

I’ve always assumed shoyeido is using something besides herbs, roots, woods and resins. I think natural isolates as opposed to essential oils just based on the aroma.

My friend made some kalimantan sticks with a hint of frankincense. The frankincense is melded in total harmony with the agarwood, perfect for the blooming summer warmth

I have found the two to go well together as well!
