Incense of the Day

[Olfactory Nomad]

Kangiiten - Dreams of Hai-Nan + Dreams of An-Nam. Neither one was hitting particularly well last night. A little smokey and acrid. I'm going to put it down to the cold air.

I'm burning farmed, resinous agarwood and, at the same time, Fornasetti Profumi's perfumed incense--a sweet aroma with floral accents.

Drigung Monastery : Vegetarian Long Incense

Apparently a 1000 year old recipe!
Very pleasant and easy to digest during the warmer months.
Now that the warm weather and humidity is here, there are some Tibetan sticks that do better than others, and this one performs just fine. Not overly complex, but refreshing. Tangy, bright woods cut through the humidity with spices that mimic a gentle "musk" and a deliver a thread of sweetness.

Shoyeido's Shunyou aka Beckoning Spring. The aroma sounds more like a summer breeze than spring. It lacks the "greenness" of the spring's opening flowers. There's a bitter herbalness to it. Despite my thoughts of their description, it's still light & lovely.

Shunyou - Beckoning Spring Premium Incense

The refreshing aroma of a subtle bitterness and agarwood evokes the feeling of a spring breeze. An elegant and sophisticated scent.

got a sampler of 8 different incenses coming from Yi Chen incense. 2 small sticks of 8 different selections in the package. I hope some of them are good but I expect none of it to be bad and it all will probably be mediocre and slightly above the kind of level of most of the Etsy stuff from China area. Prices are good but it's probably because it's mediocre. $10and It was worth getting a sample and maybe some of them are a surprise but I doubt it. Probably very weak and binder heavy

One of my favorite so complex Redolence.

Tonight I’m warming granulated incense that I bought from a shop in Japan. Their site was translated into English but when I received the package everything was in Japanese. So I have no idea what I’m burning but I can tell it is heavy on the clove and spices. Luckily I love clove.

Listeing to frankincense.

It's wonderful how a resin exuded from a tree that grows in a dry desert can have this profoundly refreshing forest scent.

That’s a beautiful silver heating dish
