Zimpon (Gift Incense) this Incense is pungently sweet and herbal interesting Aroma taken back at first but is now starting to grow on me. There is a Musky note interweaving in the scent I definitely need more time with this.

Mindroling Monastery Soothing Incense
The fragrance of this stick is mild woody with a little spice you can definitely smell the Agarwood in this stick, sandalwood, agarwood, Carom carve L, and more than 30 others. This is a must have for my collection and at a decent price.

Premium incense of the day was my 1 stick of a Horin range stick, but it wasn't Tenpyo, Peaceful Sky... for a change I went with Genroku, nice and creamy, like the aged vintage Pursat I got 0.35-0.4grams of as a sample when buying my White Kynam Hybrid, called, "Golden Kynam", cultivated in Vietnam, Nha Trang region... that kynam was a really unique one when it comes to cultivars.
Anyway, yes, the Genroku was creamy like the aged vintage Pursat, and believe me or dont believe me, the Pursat had a very, very similar creaminess and slight butteriness to sandalwood... but distinctly oud-y. I would love to get a good 5grams of that Pursat he was selling (and maybe still is, so could be in luck) just to get that note down, because it wasn't just normal Pursat it was what people (even my Vietnam seller) lists as "Pursat(s) Kynam", I could tell by the look and because it was vintage and old. Anyway, that's enough talk about actual wood, that was the way to describe the creaminess to this stick. It also has a nice green, herbally, somewhat spicy notes as well, with normal aloeswood notes.
Right now though, I am burning some Jinkoh Hoen by Gyokushodo. It is the 2nd least expensive one out of the "Jinkoh" (aloeswood) and Indian Sandalwood sticks by them, I have now had all of the small boxes, including the Kojurin (which I have tried today and it is very nice Sandalwood for the price of £4.49 and the Suzaku, which are both just sandalwood with florals and spices. Jinkoh Hoen has some of the aloeswood resin scent going for it that Yosei does (the most expensive in the line) but not quite as intense, and has more of aloeswood, wood notes. Overall, good stick, and lovely, lovely packaging.
The Hoen is the Blue one and the Black one is the Kojurin:

Hmm, I am not sure. It is possible, but most of the incense sticks I have used so far, and I have used a lot, dont have that affect on me, some sticks actually make me feel less fatigued and pain. As for fragrant woods, resins (especially frankincense), and oils, they can actually help reduce overall inflammation all over the body (especially Oud, and potentially sandalwood through different mechanisms).

That is good to hear. Some of the sticks with synthetic or questionable ingredients would concern me, but it seems that you are burning high quality sticks

I focused on the agarwood this time,
and it reminded me of chips heated on my Kodachi, I’m really impressed.

Kunmeido's Kyara Tenchi. Pretty yummy, stick seems to last forever on a cold winter night. Not too deep, not too spicy, not too anything.

Yes, I burn majority high quality sticks (except for the odd cheap Indian sticks, which are a guilty pleasure lol). Although, not all Indian style sticks are low quality, like some believe, there is a company here in the UK called Temple of Incense that does high quality Indian style sticks.

Got some Tensei by Tennendo going on right now, with some SULAYM's HM Mysore 😀 Great relaxing times at nearly 11:30pm. Might play some Cyberpunk 2077, I am at the start of it and I was in the mood for gaming on my PC again when I bought it but always scared to play a game for some reason... maybe because I feel bad if I fail a mission haha
Hold land incense. Grade 2.
I've grown to like the incense sticks which give off a medicine vibe. Seems like Tibetan/Bhutanese sticks are just that. Best thing about them is that they are super cheap and all natural! I was afraid that I would not like them and end up wasting $ but I was wrong.

Tenpyo, Peaceful Sky. Horin Range from Shoyeido. After a while of using these sticks (and I dont use them alot) I get the notes now, maybe? LOL. But, this time smelling them and wafting the smoke into my nose, I got a scent of creamy aloeswood resin, with no real noticeable woody note, after letting the tiny (but thick for Shoyeido and Japan sticks in general) stick burn more it picked up a caramel note and that note went right in to the resin note, then milky, light cream scent came on and was dancing with the resin as if it was apart of it... eventually I got a woody note in the background, and realised, this note was always here (wow), but the stick is just so complex for me that I didn't notice because of all the beautiful resin notes of this stick... this stick touched my heart. It was a journey to figure it out and I will stop using them for a while, but damn, that was fun... maybe when I use them again there will be a whole different scent profile? Haha, maybe the sticks will have or maybe do have different scents, I will find out after not using them for a good 2-4 weeks. I love these sticks, in my heart forever.
