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.

This is more expensive than other brands, and the sticks are much, much smaller. The sticks are really about 2 1/2 inches long. So, very small. And they have a burn time of less than 10 minutes. I still think it's worth it, because the fragrance is far less smokier and so you get the delicate fragrance of the aloeswood coming through clear. The fragrance also sticks around for a while after being burned down. To me, the purer fragrance quality plus the staying power makes these worth the price. I don't burn them everyday; Shoyeido is my everyday choice. But on days when you need a small luxury, these are great.
