Kyoto Sandalwood Incense Sticks - Japanese Temple Aroma, Ideal for Relaxation & Meditation, Approx. 60 Sticks (0.044 Pounds) - Premium Quality Incense for Spiritual & Home Use Nagomikobo

So strong the box smells like sandalwood, very good scent burns well, easy clean up. Sticks are smaller than all my others, but there's a lot more of them and that's what is important to me

Clean packaging, great smell.

It smells great! Mine came with no broke ones.

several problems with this product. (This is from someone who travels frequently to Kyoto) 1 - they sticks are quite short, and have no wood stem tip 2 - as a result, there is a very short burn time 3 - you need to burn about 4 at a time to get ANY sort of scent 4 - hinoki scent (when you can smell it) feels synthetic. it's not that it is subtle, it's simply non-existent unfortunately not a value for the money.

Initially, when I smelled the box, it had a sour odor. I was skeptical that i would like it. However the scent while burning was quite pleasant. Since the information said it was handcrafted in Japan, I would think that this is good quality. I gifted a box and kept one for myself. I’d buy again.

If you want an Aesop dupe these are the ones for you! I have the real and these are a great dupe for it

Love the scent

No. It didn’t smell sandlewood. Not very good.

Beautiful earthy, fragrant scent. There’s no perfume so it’s not overpowering at all and no charcoal smell either. A pure burn and a clean scent.

Agarwood incense is apparently made from resinated heartwood of the Aquilaria tree, Aquilaria malaccensis being the only species of the 21 species of the Aquilaria genus used to produce the incense. A delightful scent which when one focuses one's attention on for a short time, I find can be an effective antidote to hectic and noisy city living. The incense is at the more expensive end of the price scale, but it is a product made and shipped from Japan, and like most things Japanese, is of high quality and therefore still represents good value for money. Unlike other types of incense it does not fill the room with objectionable levels of smoke. Very pleasant indeed. Made in Japan.

The aromas even prior to lighting were pleasant. When burned, the smell is not overwhelming and the scent of sandalwood is still present. The price is quite steep, but I use this as a special treat as opposed to an every day incense.

I love these incense sticks the scent is lovely i can't use any others now, however they are quite small and extremely fragile but personally I love them they are good quality, they do burn quite quick but I have noticed after burning only one incense sticks the scent lingers for days, its a bargain.

Good quality but price is a bit higher than other options on Amazon - will have to shop and compare next round of order(s),
