It feels like it! Haha. But in reality I only chewed one small piece for reference. Very nice, but not a great use of the material IMO. I’d rather heat it.Are you eating it?

I think I remember this one, I went through a box of it… Lots of spikenard, I remember seeing little flakes of borneol, sandalwood i think. A lively blend for sure if the formula is the same as it was 20 years ago.Shoyeido Reihai Koh Lotus Leaf Incense Granules as recommended by @Joe. This is really nice and makes a change from combustible sticks. Definitely very herbal/medicine notes. Kinda hard to pick apart really. What's the other one like mate?
Ah, so that's what that spicy smell is? Spikenard? Tis very lively. Australian border control had a good look at it at customs but they let it through.I think I remember this one, I went through a box of it… Lots of spikenard, I remember seeing little flakes of borneol, sandalwood i think.

I really liked that blend because it showcased all of the different herbs without relying so heavily on aloeswood as the main player (if I recall there's just a small amount of oud in that blend, if any). And the spikenard definitely jumps to the front in the experience so it could well be that lively note.Ah, so that's what that spicy smell is? Spikenard? Tis very lively.

Olfactory rescue service says there are four different blends by Shoyeido. The climb in price while essentially keeping the same ingredients but highlighting different ones along the way finishing with an agarwood forward blend. I can only find two available now including on the Shoyeido US website. Maybe they weren't that popular?I really liked that blend because it showcased all of the different herbs without relying so heavily on aloeswood as the main player (if I recall there's just a small amount of oud in that blend, if any).

I really wanted to try these but on a buying freeze for now. They sound excellent so thanks for the review! Did you also try the single note Krabi?Silk Road - Thai Kodo
Blend of Saffron, Musk, and Camphor over an agarwood and sandalwood base.
Thick, rich, sweet, cocoa, earthy. A new favourite. Went to buy more and noticed it’s sold out. Will be keeping my eyes peeled for more like this
