Kayuragi Incense Sticks - Aloeswood by NIPPON KODO, Japanese Quality Incense

Strong but not overwhelming, this incense fills the room without generating nearly any smoke. The lingering scent lasts for a decent amount of time, leaving a mellow, pleasant atmosphere for many hours after it's burned out. This is a great option for keeping a studio, apartment, or home's aromatic atmosphere throughout the day.

I always thought that incense was cool, but after getting these a few times, I've come to realize that having/burning incense can actually be an incredibly rewarding and pleasurable experience. The fragrance of these is unlike anything I've ever smelled, and just keeping the box around things causes them to smell incredible as well.When I start seeing the bottom of the box of these, I start rationing them. I only burn them on good days, after victories, or when I need a pick-me-up. These make me wonder what other higher grades of incense are like, and what else there is for me to experience that I've previously overlooked.If this is what actual "Japanese Quality" is like, then I hope companies like this one start making headphones and computers and stuff. This incense will remind you of what true quality is and can be.

This is finest quality Japanese incense. Beautifully fragranced, long-lasting. I have used the Aloeswood incense for years to create a subtle, soothing atmosphere in my home.

Great smell but not long lasting

I just started getting into Japanese incense. Before this I would burn cheap incense from my local home good store or dollar tree. My family would complain about the strong burnt smell they would give off. I was also starting to be concerned about what chemicals I was also inhaling when I would burn the cheap stuff. After a little research I purchase the nippon kodo Kayuragi Incense Sticks after reading a couple of recommendations. At first I was disappointed because of the mild scent. It not overpowering like the cheap chemical of the cheap incense I was use to smelling. After my nose adjust I noticed the smell was amazing and would soon fill the room with a light but very expensive smell. A aroma like an expensive perfume would be the best way to explain it. None of the chemical or burnt smell. My wife instantly notice the difference and told me how much she loved it. Another difference the sticks are a little smaller than your regular incense cheap incense stick that I was use to burning and they burn for about 20-30 min.

Such a lovely, high quality fragrance without being overwhelming. My home is traditionally fragrance & chemical free due to extreme sensitivities, this incense doesn’t cause any negative reactions. It’s instantly uplifting & grounding at the same time.

This is my favorite incense. Itis light and gorgeous to mediate with or to lightin honor of my family. Low smoke means that it does not stain ceilings. A truly great product for such a low price.

I've tried several from the Kayruagi line and these are among the top 3 picks from it.My other two are Japanese Cypress and Sandalwood.Recommended Japanese incense sticks:Moss Garden by ShoyeidoKyoto Autumn Leaves by ShoyeidoViva Sandalwood by Nippon KodoCherry Blossoms by ShoyeidoKyoto Sandalwood Incense Sticks by なごみ工房Edo Sensual by Nippon KodoEiju SPICY SANDALWOOD by Nippon Kodo
