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

Smells great! I burn a lot of Nag Champa but wanted an alternative to burn sometimes. This is obviously more expensive but a nice occasional burn. Comes with a tiny square to assist in burning stickless sticks that is pretty handy. The box is good for tiny item storage after you are done and continues to smell great.

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.

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.

I am pleased with the scent of this incense. It's not overbearing. My only complaint is the size. It's not like a normal sized incense stick. It's short and not as thick, so the burn time is short.

Update: This scent of this incense is pungent; but in a good way. The scent is lasting. I have OCD, so it's really hard for me having - not only 2 cats - but their litter as well. I love cats. And - as you may know - a cat's litter can 'pack a punch.' I have tried many methods - including a product named Pooph; which is expensive and useless. I DO recommend this incense if you are looking for a real scent remover within your home.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Quality incense with nice packaging, would definitely re purchase. Scent is good as well, not overbearing. Would re order the same. Came exactly as described

Beautiful aroma and burns well. Nice quality

If you're looking for the old "Morning Star" aloeswood scent that used to be sold in the solid blue box for many, many years, then look no further, this is it. It's 5x the price of what it used to be, but that's none too surprising as aloeswood is now a scarce resource that needs to be responsibly replaced. Great for that special occasion, though, as well as being a beautifully rich (but not sweet) scent that evokes memories of times past for those of us who enjoyed it growing up..

In the past I've always gone for the classic patchouli 'head shop smell' style of incense sticks. But I wanted to try something different and so gave these a try. I'll be ordering again, they give off a fabulous, sophisticated and much more subtle aroma, that sticks around in the nicest possible way. They are beautifully packaged and come with a small stand provided. As well as re-ordering these ones I'll be trying other scents too. Highly recommended.

The only reason I haven’t given this product a five star review is because the incense sticks are so thin. Drop one, and it breaks. Not being careful when removing one from the box, and it breaks. Apart from that, it’s probably the nicest incense I have ever smelt.
