nippon kodoKayuragi Agilawood

This Nippon Kodo Aloeswood(Agarwood) incense is hands down one of the best smells I have smelled from incense and one of the best smells I smelled in life in general.The smell out of the box, before being out, is heavenly. It smells sweet, wooden. As with most smells it is difficult to describe what a smell is like. If I were to compare it to the smell of authentic sandalwood, this Alowswood incense is less sharp, and much more mellow. No smell of floral soap.When lit the smell retains the fragrance before lighting. Very mellow and pure. Not mellow like vanilla. Maybe it reminds of cinnamon pastry at the bakery, but when you smell it you know it is a kind of wood being burned. This smell immediately makes you feel some sort of kindness, and comfort. I would even describe it as a smell of some food cooking at home over open fire during holidays.If your exposure to incense so far is limited to the cheaper “blue box” Indian incense then you don’t yet know how good an incense can smell. You have to try this Nippon Kodo Aloeswood.It has to be mentioned that this series of Nippon Kodo incenses in striped boxes are also significantly better than the cheaper line of incense from this same company. So if you tried their smaller Morning Star boxes and felt like the smell wasn’t pure enough, with this series I definitely smell much less filler and much more aromatic substance.

Got this one because I wanted to try something new and loved this so much. I highly recommend this. A must buy

It is very thin and burns in no time (about 15 mins). Up close, it does not smell too nice but at a distance, it is very pleasant and sweet. The whole room smells like spring flowers after burning just one.

i like the smell of this incense but it is probably not for everyone. if you prefer flowery or sweet smells this might be too perfumey for you.

The are great
