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 from Japan

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.

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.

It smells absolutely wonderful before burning, a delicate scent that fills up my room. After burning, initial smokey aroma slowly evolves, but I'd expect it to remain more fragrance-less smoke. Nevertheless it is much less irritating that some incense I've tried in the past. Sticks are a bit shorter than standard incense and lack the bamboo core, which makes them impossible to use in standard incense holders sadly. I presumed they would come with a specialised box or tray for burning, but they don't which is a small drawback for me- thus 4 stars only. They are very fragile, when I tried gently inserting them into plasticine piece, the stems break easily. I'm yet to find a solution to that.

They are really good quality and smell lovely, they burn very nicely too

Awful smell, smells like curry powder

Nice subtle scent, not overpowering.

I was quite hopeful of the incense sticks as the scent sounded really intriguing. Firstly after delivery the delivery was pretty quick and they arrived well packaged. The box is a really nice clean white design and has a matte feel but looks luxurious. There’s plenty of sticks in the pack but they break very easily and don’t have an end so are quite hard to add to a holder. The scent is quite strong but I quite like it when they are like this, there’s limited smoke aswell. Highlights: plenty in the pack, smell nice, luxurious style box Negatives: no end so burns and crumbles right down, break/snap very easily

All was 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.

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

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.

Clean packaging, great smell.

It smells great! Mine came with no broke ones.
