Temple Incense Chui Woon (Emerald Cloud) Oriental Incense Large 120 Stick Box

Recently I started to burn incense, so I got a few kinds of Korean incense. This is so far the best one, strong & soothing & fragrant smell. After burning this, I feel calm & relaxed.

In this, "series," of Korean incense, the buyer should know how to, "listen," to the incense. I own four varieties of this brand of incense... as they all have the same, "Base," (other spices), the three main ingredients make the high 'notes,' of this type. If one doesn't pay careful attention, the promise and gifts will be lost on the buyer. In other words, this incense and it's comrades takes a discerning devotion or it's just wasted. I've been buying Japanese incense for years, and despite the agarwood and aloeswood varieties, the Korean is very special and I prefer it in comparison to all other Asian incense.

We've been using Chui Woon for many years in our small Zen Center. It's one of the nicest incense around. Has very much the scent of sitting in a Korean Buddhist Temple. I only wish Amazon carried the long one hour sticks as well.

I was crazy about korean incense after trying ChungSimHyang's sublime pine-scholar scent. For a while I have been eyeing new korean incense. I tried KoHyang and wasn't impressed, it was like a typical joss stick but muted. Eventually I got used to it but I wasn't a fan. Searching online for new FRESH smells, I liked this one because it's got a beautiful name: Emerald Cloud. If it were a tea, I would imagine bright green majestic scent, bitter and herbal tones, fresh spark.Getting this package, it was in perfect condition, no complaints there. For something called "Emerald Cloud" -- it would have been nice for the box to be green, but whatever that's fine. The SMELL -- bland, burnt, unpleasant. I am trying to describe it, but it doesn't smell like incense. It smells like poor quality marijuana haha as if you're burning a common stick outside at a campfire, not like an incense should. Where's the freshness, the sweetness, the 'clouds', the green? It's got none of this. Thumbs down.

Not at all like Baiedo's rich Chinese medicinal joss mixtures of resinous woods & spices,this is more the odor of acupuncture clinics - burning-mugwort moxibustion, plus chrysanthemum and other hard-to-guess dry herbs. But without any resinoids, Emerald Cloud inevitably presents as "burning grass".Yet the effect is a Daoist mystery: For clearing out energies, removing staleness, or eliminating common kitchen odors such as fish (without cloying covering scents) the result is... definitely more focused than a sage-wand cleansing.It also makes me curious: How can this be priced more than any Baieido Box?

Very soothing and calming. Bring gentle smell to the nose, so when your meditating you're not overwhelmed

These arrived on time and packaged well. There were no broken incense. It has a nice scent.I haven't burned any yet. My plan was to use them with oil in a wax warmer, but my warmer stopped working. I will edit my review when I get the opportunity.

My first foray into Korean incense. This is definitely somewhere between Japan and Tibet in the fact that it has the bitter/pungent herbs that I associate with the Tibetan style while still having things like clove in the ingredients that make it smooth out and give it a sort of woody/Japanese finish after a Tibetan entry. I find this a very pleasant stick and am eager to get more Korean incense as I like how spicy/woody it gets after you get past the bitter opening notes of the herbs.
