Incense of the Day

[Taesik Yun]

Simple sandalwood incense.
90% are bead waste sandalwood and 10% are makko.
pretty good and enjoyable. I like its simplicity.

I love Borneo agarwood

Shoyeido Go un

It leans toward the perfumey side,
but in a good way.

Ken’s PNG agarwood sticks from May. Nice cool spiciness.

Shunkohdo Ranjatai

The famous Ranjatai log is said to possess
the five tastes...sweet, sour, spicy, salty, and bitter.

With this stick, the sweet, bitter, and spicy
is obvious. Salty....hmmmmm maybe a little,
sour.......hmmmmm not sure.

I think moving forward, I’ll try to search for these tastes with every stick I burn, meanwhile,
I’ll admit that I’m no pro at it.

Homemade stick using NK Vietnamese

The melon note is present, and I see how some Japanese sticks try to capture that note,
because they smell similar to this stick,
but not quite with a natural vibe.

Kida Jinseido Ikuhokoh

Heavy on the bitter,
and I believe it has all the five tastes,
with the sweet and the sour least.

Dr. Incense Kalimantan

Proving to be quite an aromatic stick,
nice🙂

Gentle and sweet.

Kunmeido Kyara Tenpyo

Bold flavors matched by agarwood.
This should be the minimum standard,
unfortunately, most new blends from Japanese Incense houses feel watered down.

Baieido Koshiboku

I’m not after the Kyara in it
(Which couldn’t be much anyhow)
but the spices and herbs mainly.

My batch is light on the resins,
but I smelled a new batch where the
benzoin is apparent.

next up
KZ Merauke...
This stick convinced me to get some Merauke wood,
and after acquiring a stash,
the scent validates the authenticity of the wood.
To me, it’s like I struck gold, and now,
I can make Merauke sticks. Hip hip...hoooray!
