Great blend from Heian period, i wonder if ther other blends of Sanjonishi family were made into sticks like this, most of them in form of Nerikoh.

KZ dreams of annam. A lovely sweet and spicy scent that gradually builds as it burns. Slight cinnamon, resinous Oud, charred wood, hints of honey peeking through.

Seijudo Seiran
Shoyeido Shokaku
Beautiful sticks, I couldn't finish the Shokaku as it was slow burning and I was in rush, I stopped it for another time, it has the perfect kyara note to my taste.

I’m really loving the musky notes

Kyara Zen - Koyasan Shikimi-koh

Started with a burned wood note, showcasing "shikimi tree" as mentioned in the description, this is more a background scent, it transports me to one year ago to Koyasan, hard wood temples, silent, fresh and cold room, with incense filling the air, ancestral.

sandalwood frankincense blend from craft incense. A little fresh sparkle to brighten up this gloomy November night. I really enjoy frankincense it’s fresh and happy.

Kangiiten - Eight Milleniums. Soft and warm. Layers stunningly while wearing Bilquis 3.

 

[Jeh]

Yamadamastu - Kofukoji Fu-Sho-Koh a formula from the Hei'an period.
When opening the tube a cool borneol camphor note escapes, when burned the scent is dry, spicy, woody, hints of dry wood gently burning in a fireplace.

Started with Yamadamatsu Hojo Red,
I’m loving this blend, and it’s quite agarwoody.
Then I revisited Baieido Koshiboku, nice bitterness, then some Kyara Kokoh, which seems to me to be a stick which uses real kyara as an ingredient, and not ingredients as kyara, so the stick is not made to smell like kyara, but to have its own identity.

3 very well made sticks, I can’t see how these can get any better.

And then as usual, after burning agarwood sticks, I like to finish with a blended stick,
out comes Yamadamatsu Hojo Red, I’ve been very fond of it’s recipe lately😋

Tennendo Frankincense
Loveeeeeeeeee it

@iori How is this in comparison to heating green hojari? I have had this in my wishlist for sometime, and always end up not ordering because i have some really awesome green hojari.

 

[Olfactory Nomad]

Kangiiten - Eight Milleniums. This has become a favourite to burn while falling asleep.
May our Lord endure
for a thousand, eight thousand
long generations -
May he live until the pebbles
grow into mossy boulders.

Minorien Kyara Chokoh no.5 old stock
❤️ it.

Then Shoyeido Myo-ho
I think the goal of Shoyeido was to make a stick that smells like green oil kyara,
that’s Myo-ho.
