Incense of the Day

[Oudamberlove]

Kida Jinseido Hanakokonoe

I don’t know what’s in it, but I love it
A tasteful bitterness married to
aloeswood, with an herb and spice mix
that deserves a James Beard Award

IO Walla Patta sticks

A stark departure from the usual
Vietnamese and Indonesian sticks
used by Japanese Incense Houses.

Imagine the recipes they could’ve
created if they used the Wallas😀

.......anyhow, jolly good stick

KZ Mysore Saffron stick

When I smell it,
I can’t help but think.....
add musk!!😀

Kunmeido Kyara Tenpyo

Rum soaked cured tobacco
on a bubbling chip.

 

[Taesik Yun]

Yamadamatsu Kayo
I like this soft, deep sandalwood incense.

 

[Oudamberlove]

Fired-up my Nippon Kodo Borneo
homemade stick
(charcoal and tragacanth gum binder)

Two words..... Awe Some!!!😀
All my homemade agarwood sticks will now be
made using this binder recipe.

For starters, the Borneo granules have a beautiful aroma, and the finished stick retains that aroma
with minimal deviation.
I’m really stoked

Immensely enjoying Candan Melayu by KZ tonight!

Agar Aura Hainan Special K. Lovely top end sticks. Took my electric heater in to work as there is no one else here, so I can be as fragrant as I like 🙂
I much prefer to heat incense sticks on a burner or heater rather than light them - so much more clarity and range of notes 🙂 .... and I won't set off the fire alarm haha

Cannata Ambon Stick

Powerful delivery,
must have been some special wood

Received my first order from him the other day. Soverign is a lovely incense where both frank and sandalwood shine. Stanford Cedar is a Ken classic and In the Agar Woods is superb with a clear KZ signature.

If possible to mix musk in incense and sticks, please share the technique and process.

I already tried dipping a sandalwood stick into my musk tincture, then allowed it to dry. The results are okay, so that when I make some homemade sticks, I will put a few drops of the tincture. The only other way is to incorporate raw grains, but I won’t be experimenting with that method..........
.........my tincture is strong, and as soon as my
grains from Sibermusk arrive, I will add to it.

His very first batch of Ceram stick is one of my absolute favourites out of everything that I have tried. Personally I was a huge fan of the ceram wood. Wish I could buy some more.

Beautiful colour!

Is it tincture or maceration?

Well, once I sprinkled a few grains on sandal powder on the coal. I ran out of the room even quicker than that weird smell molecules flew out of the room.

This is a good idea if tincture is to be mixed in incense. And if tincture does work, maceration will do as well.

It is a tincture in perfumer’s alcohol.

In high concentrations the musk does indeed have a sharpness to it when burned, dare I say magic marker, but not exactly.

When used in incense , I find that hyraceum smells more like deer musk raw grains than deer musk itself😕, but that is with the one and only batch of hyraceum that I have tried, another batch from a different source is on it’s way, and I shall compare the two.

Well, last month I made incense and used Muskroot, and made dough in honey. When heated, Muskroot smelt highly masculine and strong in there. I already have replaced frankincense with mastic. And Saffron is an integral part of incense I make.

Second, nowadays, I am heating loose incense. It is to be experienced.

Thanks for writing about hyraceum.
