Incense of the Day

[Castingshadows]

Highlands today!

A very approachable Tibetan monastery style composition. Ultra spiced, musky and herbal. Grounding.

Kens Mellifluous Vietnam burned tonight. I haven’t been able to get this to burn correctly at all, but tonight it burned great. Awesome stuff. A deeper, more intense Viet wood experience. .....And then I went ridiculous....

Got out the portable heater and heated a tiny sliver of white kinam. Pure, awesome bliss. So I swiped some White Kinam by Ensar. Gorgeous Malinau, smells not like actual white kinam though. And then I went on a (tiny dot) swipe fest, trying to find a White Kinam replica. Nha Trang LTD...nope (but wonderful oil)....AA Pailin SK, nope, AA Kyara To Byakudan, nope (but this is UHMAZING.), and then.... @Mario P. Hong Kong oil....close....man its close. Really close. Falls a bit more into yellow territory as described. And then I heated some shavings of some ultra special gifted Irian Jaya wood on the subitism from @EJayB . Wow.....this is an excellent, special special wood. It’s neck and neck with the white kinam. Gorgeous—capital G. Going to bed now, brain blown to bits, but in a good way. Whew whee...

KZ Manaban

I wonder if this could be Malaysian.

I guess Kyarazen has plans to make more sticks,
I saw his new packaging design on Instagram.

I was fortunate enough to sample a member’s personal incense and there’s a blend in particular I never thought I’d enjoy.

Mysore and Hyraceum is one of the most addicting combos I’ve smelled and I had no idea this particular musk could impart such a beautiful aroma onto Mysore.

There’s spicy sweet musk that is animalic yet perfectly balanced. It almost feels like fermented cedar, black pepper and thick, furry pheromones imbedded into powdery Mysore. So beautiful.

The thing is, KZ’s Manaban doesn’t smell Hindi.

I like how the scent lingers in the air.

That afterglow is such a beautiful and primal smell. It follows me everywhere I go and is truly a unique accord.

I burned about a 1/4” and the back half of my house has this gorgeous lingering afterglow I love it.

Taking a cue from @Oudamberlove I am burning Dr. Incense processed Sri Lankan. Quite possibly my favorite pure wood incense from Doc I. Along with a tiny drop of Kyara Ketone I am surrounded by wonderful Sri Lankan vapors. So good.

A private blend from a member containing C.Kinam/Brunei/Indonesian Agarwood.

Sweet, spicy, smooth. Studious in a way? Overall very strong vibrations. It’s not light and fluffy by any means but lots of ouddyness.

KZ Merauke

IMO Merauke works very well in stick form,
and I can see it contributing a nice
woodiness in a blend.

Kunmeido Kyara Tenpyo

I have a suspicion that the agarwood
is Cambodi, because it reminds me of the Dr.’s Cambodi stick, and Baieido’s Kunsho.

Ceylon Sandalwood:
In the end, logs reached here after a long long time, and patience bore fruit.
Genuine heartwood of Sandal is beauty, in short. It is the second day with Sandal chips on heater.

I like how the scent lingers in the air.

This is why I love and prefer wood! When ripples caress olfactory, ...

Shoyeido Myoho

I get a fresh sliced citrus vibe.

Ken’s East Malaysia—- very deep, woody, polished... reminds me a bit of Tigerwood 1990
