nippon kodoKyara Taikan - Premium Aloeswood Incense 150 Sticks

My awesome husband bought these for me for Valentine's day, and these are absolutely the most exquisite incense I have ever used or smelled. The packaging is beautiful, very ceremonial, and will be kept as a keepsake box even after all the incense have been used. The sticks are very delicate, and smell like FRESH, SPRING AIR. It's uncanny. The scent is not perfume-y, not hippie, not overly flavored, just light, breezy fresh spring air. It elevated the mood of our entire house. Best part is they are not overly smokey. Most incense I prefer to use on the porch because of the smoke, but these have one tiny light thread of smoke that vanishes and just fills the house with a pleasant feel. They are magic, and I will surely buy these again!!

Premium quality aloeswood incense can be really expensive—the best kyara incense sticks sold at Nippon Kodo can be over 2000 dollars for an even smaller box. Yet, high end aloeswood incense is really distinctive and worth every penny. Kyara Taikan is amongst the affordable high-ends and has a really exquisite, subtle touch. Compare it with those average incense sticks labelled as "aloeswood" or "agarwood," and one would immediately understand the difference.

I’m not sure why this had such amazing reviews. To me, it was such a basic incense scent and nothing special. It did Burn cleaner but that’s the only pro. The box did come with some of them already broken, which for the price shouldn’t happen. I wouldn’t really recommend it

Very clean burning, delightful smell, does not irritate my eyes. Expensive but worth it. Burn a partial stick at a time to make it last

Very high quality incense. Rich agar wood scent.

Expensive, but worth every penny.

This is one of their most high-end incense, and is worth every penny!
