nippon kodo OEDO-KOH - Aloeswood 60 Sticks w/Incense Holder , Japanese Quality Incense

The size of the box is comparable to that of a box of cards. The incense sticks are tiny, but don’t let this fool you. One stick is enough to scent a large room. It smells very Japanese. If you are looking for a traditional Japanese incense, this isn’t it. This is a very perfumy incense that is quite powdery, perhaps old-lady-like. This incense is intended to evoke the scent of old Tokyo, and I think it does a good job. If you really pay attention, you can detect the scents of agarwood and sandalwood beneath the perfume. I originally purchased this because I wanted the included incense holder; I didn’t care so much about the incense itself. I ended up loving the incense.

Delicate, imaginative scent. Absolutely worth a try!

I've tried the Water Drop and the Sakura scent from OEDO KOH, but the Aloeswood has to be my most favourite. It's a very pleasant scent, not too smokey in my opinion. I will repurchase this once I use up my current box.

I love this incense very much. It's a great scent, very light, does not linger too much (which I like because I can burn it in places where I do not want the scent to linger forever, like my office or a rented cabin). It is a very high quality and fantastic scent. Be warned, it is a very small box and the incense sticks are quite small (they last about 10-15 minutes). The quality of this incense is so high, I do not find that to be a deterrent, but you should be aware of it so that the product is consistent with your expectations. These sticks are shorter than your average incense sticks. I will buy it again, I loved it! Even my friend who does not normally care for incense loved this scent.

Small but mighty - these sticks are small but beautifully packaged and presented with a miniture stand. Each burns for approx 10 mins but leaves a pleasant aroma in the room for hours meaning that two a day will see you right. I have the Aloeswood and Pine, both excellent. Highly recommended.

I’ve previous to this only been exposed to Chinese temple-incense. I wanted to try something new and aloeswood I was curious about. It provided a natural, non-imitation like scent. Although a few sticks came broken in half upon arrival, I just burned those broken ones as individual sticks. I’m burning them for me, I’m not showing off to anyone -why would I care? Decent value for what was paid.
