nippon kodo Morning Star Sandalwood Incense (200 Sticks and Holder) - 1

Brilliant Japanese incense, with no stick. Pure.

I was tired of flower and fruit scented air fresheners that sucked out the manliness of whatever room it was sprayed in and wanted something that smelled more masculine, yet wouldn't be overly offensive towards any female company I might have. This fit the bill perfectly. I'd never really had to describe smells before, but UHHHHH I'LL TRY--- It was masculine, yep, definitely was. Morning star definitely got that right. Very woody. Would be easy for someone who had no knowledge of the product to pick up the 'flavor' of sandalwood in the air. I would not call the smell subtle, it has a nice, strong presence, but it isn't the overbearing, nausea-inducing, in your face, and just straight gross smell of cheaper incense. I've had friends who 'hate' incense, because their only experience with incense come from the aforementioned cheap products, compliment and even ORDER Morning Star incense. It does not mingle with other smells, but covers them up. Very good for after cooking, and a great benefit in making my more 'recreational' smoking habits a little more discrete. All descriptions aside, it's something that really needs to be smelled to understand (probably the weirdest sentence I've ever written). Burn time is highly satisfactory at around 30 mins. I didn't expect that and was very (pleasantly) surprised. It comes with a little ceramic square incense holder. It kinda/sorta sucks, and would probably thrown out instantly by incense 'aficionados,' who'd favor their incense holders, but for my needs it was fine. I just use the ceramic holder on top of a china plate and that works as my set up quite fine.I live 'far away' relatively speaking, so it takes a week or so to get here and the shipping rate is higher than the actual price of the product. Not really the company's fault, it's just something I have to deal with ALL the time. Anyways, with that said, the product arrived in immaculate condition. I've ordered this a total of three times and have seen damage on the packaging only ONCE. The damage was purely superficial and the sticks were always in perfect condition, regardless of the package's appearance.Simply a great product, and this is the only 5/5 review I've ever given for a product, and a rating I can give comfortably.

Esse incenso é muito bom mas não há mais disponível para compra. Gostaria de adquirir mais,.

Nice subtle incense that isn't too smokey. Not the greatest smelling incense I've ever burned but very inoffensive. Would buy again.

È stato un regalo per un amante della meditazione. È stato graditissimo

I was looking for a more natural incense and I really enjoy this one. I had a problem with my delivery but the costumer service was quick to answer and help me get the package.
