Smells so Oud
It's a Shoyeido week this week. Last night Southern Wind. Tonight Gentle Smile.

Love both, but learn more toward SW. not sure why. There’s a curry nuance to Misho that doesn’t thrill me.

Well that was disappointing. That Brunei incense that I ordered from a new shop on Etsy a month ago just cancelled my order and gave me a refund. No reason, no communication, hadn't sent it. Bizarre.

Seijudo Kyara Enju - A complete stick!, creates a smooth aleoswood aura and you get everything you would expect and more. For a stick with 60% kyara.. it is great value factoring in the current prices for kyara. But for $20++ a stick, is it?
I have not had my nose on shokaku, how would you compare this to shokaku?

There is similarities to Shokaku in way and not in way.
Personally each have its charm and identity, putting one over the other would be depends on person taste but both great famous sticks from long time.
If its recent purchase it doesn't have Borneol its 70% Indian sandal and rest is the binder.
Great sticks too.

Yes, recent purchase and the inscription inside the box mentions borneol in the list.
I would compare the quality of this stick with kobukuginmi india. Both seem to be similarly priced as well.

Yea the manual is wrong according to the staff, the revisit removed it and now its only sandal and binder.
As for Konukuginmi the Indian and Indo sandal Amazing, i still prefer the Kogado.

Subtle notes of fruits and wood, vanilla and oud.

Oudique Goose Pear
This is my first time messing with stick incense in a very long time. Got these sticks free with an order last year and forgot about them. They actually smell really nice just sitting in the tube.
Put half a stick on the sub. I haven’t the first clue what goose pear is ‘supposed’ to smell like, but these are pleasant, and certainly more natural-smelling than the dodgy bakhoor I was burning a couple of weeks back.

Now just lit a stick of Sasura, from KyaraZen. resinous, a touch of minty freshness, mystery.

Dr. Incense - Pureland. I somehow got black pepper in the opening before I started getting wiffs of agarwood and toasty sandalwood, and the damp black ambergris comes across subtly but stands out. Complex blend, other spice mentioned is turmeric and I think it might have cloves too. Enjoyable!

Sounds great. I love cloves and spices, but not so much turmeric as a fragrant material. I associate it too much with meals and family dinners.
