nippon kodo Kayuragi Incense Sticks - Sandalwood, Japanese Quality Incense

Sandalwood smell is beautiful light and uplifting as it drifts through the home. Incense sticks are are fragile. Handle With Care. There is no core stick inside just the rolled powdered incense. They burn slow and clean. Will buy again, excellent manufacturer, fast shipping excellent Packaging.

This sandalwood incense is the best, the scent is exquisite and elegant. I burn these incense sticks almost everyday and I definitely would buy them again.

will get this for the rest of my life, also comes with cute little stand

This is a great sandalwood incense fragrance. I love that the fragrance lingers in the air even after the incense has burned, and I love the little wooden box it comes in. I could smell the incense as soon as I removed it from the outer packaging. Unfortunately, the incense stick is shorter than most, and it has no wooden end for ease of removal from my incense burner (I have to use a thin tool to remove the *unburned end* of the incense stick, which is essentially wasted; it's the only way I can put another incense stick inside the holder of my incense burner). So while it smells great, for me one purchase was enough.

I have been purchasing nippon kodo Kayuragi Incense Sticks - Sandalwood for over 10 years since I discovered it. It was a gift from my friend. It has just right scent, very pleasing scent. It comes with a lovely box and mini square burner but I do not need them for each purchase.... I have accumulated over fifty of the boxes and burners. I wish I can purchase incense only as bulk in the simple package. The incense is relatively pricey that I am paying for the boxes and burners... I use the incense everyday in the morning when I meditate and chant.

PERFECT sandalwood scent! Ordered my 2nd box. Very calming and light scent that fills a room, doesn't give me a headache. Scent stays for a couple days after you use one. Repeat customer! Fast shipping!

Is this what real sandalwood smells like? If so, it's absolutely divine!! I love it! The moment I first opened the package and got hit with the scent, I just had this moment where my brain was like, "Oh. OH. HOLY CRAP."I'm used to the conventional incense sold in stores, so I totally wasn't expecting it. I can't stop opening the package just to take a sniff, it just smells so niiiiiiiice. It makes me want to roll around in it until my skin soaks the scent up or something. This doesn't smell anything like previous "sandalwood" I've burned before...and the box it comes in looks really nice! It even came rolled up inside a reference paper of other scents the company sells.It is smaller, but I think it's worth the price. There's no core, so it doesn't have that pungent, burnt wood smell underneath. You know how some incense sticks smell great in the package, but smell awful once it's burning? These aren't like that. It smells just like as it comes in the package!Because of that, the scent feels lighter and less pungent, however it does burn FAST. But the scent is strong when it burns, and once it's all burnt up, it still lingers in the air like really nice, subtle perfume. Whenever I turn my head, I catch it and it's absolutely wonderful. For reference, I burnt these around 4:40-ish and it's 1:38 AM now, and I can still smell it.On the downside, the sticks are fragile because of the lack of wooden core, so you'll have to be careful handling it, and again, it burns really fast. I'm not sure how it might smell in a larger space, but I burned these in a decently-sized bedroom. Also, these are fairly expensive for incense sticks, so the smaller size and fast burning might be something to think about if you're strapped for cash.I kinda bought these on a whim, but now I'm hooked. I think I'll prefer this style of incense from now on!

This sandalwood incense is fantastic. The scent is subtle, not overpowering like some I've bought in the past. There is no bamboo inner core, so it's not overly smoky. It does burn faster than other incense sticks, but the scent lingers a long time. And it comes in an adorable wooden box, with an incense holder. I love this company, and have their narcissus incense, too, which is fabulous.
