Incense of the Day

That's cool and all, but it still has amber in it.

ORS: Tennendo”s Tensei: This is a really nice and also reasonably priced aloeswood blend. It is nicely balanced with a distinctive overall scent that somehow goes from a little spicy to smooth from moment to moment. I have been burning this a lot lately because, yes, it’s a great deal and also a wonderful backround scent in a room that can set up a nice focused environment.

Also, amber is an accord, you may have smelled the note of amber, but that does not mean it has amber in it. Why do you think this? Because you smelled the amber note? That does not mean it has amber lol 😄

Where is this evidence then?

Use your nose.
Go to bed lad, it's late.

Can you not understand that amber is an accord? You can smell it in things when its not there. Give me evidence that it has amber in it, go on, please? You can smell amber without amber being in the product as it is an accord.

Just give me something that it says it has "amber" in it please, because amber does not exist lol. It is a note found in various resins. @Simla House

Yes, I know amber is an accord. I'm aware of what makes up an amber accord. That accord in oil form can be added to Japanese incenses, and is.

Where do you get this info then? I want to see it please?

 

[-Renton-]

I want to see it mainly because sellers should say something like, "with an amber accord" or something.

 

[-Renton-]

@Simla House Honestly, I do agree with you lol, I just want to see where you got evidence that they use those oils in Tensei? Because, no reviewer says it has an amber accord. So, are you the Zen master of Japanese incense?

 

[-Renton-]

Just makes me confused when I see something that is official and then someone says something that they smell that could be something different like an aloeswood note in the stick that smells like amber? You see what I mean? Its purely subjective. So, to get real proof you need evidence 🙂

I should have clarified that when I said amber resin, I was referring to the kind of mushy / solid perfume that hippy shops sell. That is the top note in Tensei.

I have never been in a shop like that as I live in Scotland. But even if you smell it in Tensei it could be the spices or aloeswoods they use (since they do use multiple aloeswoods) that may smell similar?

We just don't know 100% because the Japanese usually hide a lot of ingredients.

Exactly. Part of the fun is listening to these incenses and admiring the compositions. Let's leave it there beofre we crash the forum. 😎

LOL. I can crash this forum easily with how much I write 😆

But overall, I think it may have that amber accord in it, but are you denying it has premium, high quality, multiple aloeswoods? As that is what Tennendo have said themselves?

At £90 for 400 sticks, you can't expect premium / high quality aloeswood to be plentiful in an incense.
Perhaps there's a dusting of those ingredients. For the record, I'm not denying these sticks are completely devoid of aloeswood, but these are blends, which include spices, etc etc etc.

Tensei’s characteristic feature is its refreshing fragrance and Agarwood-based aroma which shows off its sourness. You can see some changes in the fragrance when you burn the incense stick and also when the aroma stabilizes. When fragrance stabilizes, it becomes mellow, its sourness disappears and a gentle sweetness can be felt.
