Incense of the Day

[Taesik Yun]

Kunjudo - Takara, Diamond

no smoke charcoal incense.
smells white musk, iris, powdery, classic-french-perfume-y.

not my liking though, it's interesting to see how they translated powdery french perfume into incense sticks.

Enlightenment stick from Shoyeido
Gentle smile next
I’ve really been enjoying mornings with Shoyeido, coffee and reading time as a way to start my days with positivity

Last night…
Shoyeido Myo-ho
and Kunmeido Tokusen Kyara Tenpyo
both lovely.

Burning this mysore stick from maunamoku - this smells so good unburned - strong clear santalol notes - cool dry wood - deeply calming. Burning it has that classic rich, sweet woody scent with Santalol backdrop that gradually builds. Sandalwood smoke is complex - a mix of oil, resin, wood smoke - at times smooth, bitter, sweet, sour.

Yi-Xin Craft Incense: Ocean's Gold.
Such an enjoyable burn. Regal and deep.
More ambergris incense, please.

 

[Mr.P]

Definitely would love to smell incense featuring ambergris. At one point I had put a sprinkle of some crumbs on the coal and it was really quite a scent. Just positive aspects of ambergris amplified it seem to me

Did you try the recent edition of KZ's Zen Moon? Quite a phenomenal stick with golden ambergris in it.

 

[Mr.P]

I haven’t sampled anything except the shin kyara and a powdered mix for the taoist seal/stencil burner. Too many good things - want more than i can have. First world problems - gotta love em.

Enjoying some Seijudo Kohshu

 

[Zazu]

Shoyeido - Nankun
I forgot I had these sticks. I love how they stay in the background, allowing me to be productive, even enhancing it, instead, of giving me the urge to sit down and 'listen' like with some pure agarwood sticks.

 

[Mr.P]

These are great sticks. I love these.

 

[Ahmaoud]

Baieido's Tokusen Syukohkoku - I don't usually burn sticks during the work day but I had half left over from last night's burn session. Beautiful, but subtle.

 

[Mr.P]

Great stuff it’s been a long time since I’ve burned any. If I recall that has a distinct benzoin note throughout.

 

[Ahmaoud]

You know I never thought about it being an ingredient, but consulting their website it does seem like the series uses benzoin. However I found the regular Syukohkoku to be a lot sweeter, the Tokusen variant somehow feels sterner, refined and quieter, the former however is bombastic (for Baieido standards)! Much to my disappointment, neither has the heavy handed use of borneol found in Tokusen Kobunboku

 

[Olfactory Nomad]

Trying my first Shoyeido sample. "Beckoning Spring". Very impressed so far.

 

[hawk_757]

Enjoying some Yamadamatsu Kayo, listening to Free Nationals and enjoying some sungrown ganja

 

[Zazu]

I enjoyed a tiny bit of Kyara Zen - Zen Moon yesterday evening and because I just have one box, I was wondering if there is anything similar? It's just so nice!

Mellifluous Vietnam, Craft Incense
as usualy smells almost like wood chips

 

[Castingshadows]

Burned some Doc’s Rejuvenate Spirit

I’m always amazed at these sticks. I gotta be in the middle for them now but when I am in the mood it’s all love.
