Nippon Daily Incense Stick Medium Rose Telling about G

Never buy anything else

I must agree with the other reviewer who could not understand why the one star review... This incense is very delicate and rather subtle, so even if you do not like the fragrance (which I could understand) it is very unlikely that you could say that 'it stinks'.I discovered this incense over twenty years ago, through a japanese friend while teaching in China for a year. For many years after returning to Europe, I looked for it everywhere, remembering the name as 'shoran koh'[does anyone know if it ever was called this?] and I tried many many many many other incense sticks, in the hope of finding an alternative. I am very sensitive to smells, I suffered from sinusitis and rhinitis for many years; I react really badly to any other incense! So I have tended to only use essential oils with an oil burner.This incense however, I can have burning in the room where I am without any problem. The fragrance I find, helps calm the mind - I love it and recommend it highly. I am so glad I can buy it so easily. through Amazon nowadays!

The picture doesn't do it justice - this product is beautifully packaged and an absolute pleasure to use. Seriously, it's worth buying for the packaging alone. I would buy this as a gift for someone who is into design, it's that good. And the incense itself is excellent - lovely clean sandalwood scent, not smoky or overpowering. It's more subtle than Indian incense and doesn't fill the room with smoke. You can tell it's good quality, it doesn't have that nasty synthetic perfume smell like some incense I've tried. And you get loads of it, 300 sticks. Bargain! I've paid £6 for 20 incense sticks before - never again. If you burn incense, you should definitely try this, it's great.

Product arrived on the earliest date predicted by Seller/Amazon. well packaged, and good quality. i've noticed some bad reviews regarding the aroma; i volunteered at the local Buddhist centre for about a year, and became familiar with numerous types & brands of incense. this one is exactly what i would expect for Sandalwood & smells the same as pretty much every other brand i came across. the sticks burn evenly, and while they do produce some smoke personally i don't find it a problem. good value for money; 300 sticks for a little over £10 is great compared with the cost of other brands. would recommend.

Absolutely Love these and agree with other comments, as soon as you open the box you get a whiff of such a beautiful sandalwood aroma, they are far superior to the smoky overbearing, burning wood smelling sticks you find around that are cheap. Lovely Clean scent that lingers, very little smoke. Yes they are small they are fragile, but I put mine on 30 minutes ago and they still have a third to burn, so they do last. I won't be looking any further for incense as these are by far the best Sandalwood sticks on the market. Gorgeous !

I had high hopes after smelling how lovely they were in the box, but after burning I can honestly say I don't see what others see in them. When burning they smell nothing like how the smell in the box and just smell like burning wood thats been dipped in some spices. Definitely will not be buying them again.

This incense arrived within two days of the order. It was carefully packaged and well presented. I started burning incense in the 1970s; Sandalwood being my favourite scent. I have purchased many different kinds of incense but this was my first exposure to Japanese incense and I was delighted by the experience. The sticks of incense are 14cms long. I did not time how long they burn for but it was long enough and the scent remained long after they stoppped burning. The scent is more subtle than Indian varieties, and there is less smoke, but the whole house was soon permeated by the warm gentle scent. I recommend it highly, and I will certainly buy it again.

Don't believe the description of "Quality Japanese incense" and "Sweet floral base", this offered nothing of the sort. What I got for my expectant anticipation after believing all the positive reviews was "essence of bonfire" and far from "With little smoke" ... I got a lot!!If this is truly what goes for "quality Japanese incense" then I'm heading back to India!!You. Have. Been. Warned!

Der Geruch passt zu mir. Ich mag die Stäbchen gerne.

No huele fuerte, es un olor delicado que no molesta. Ideal para usarlo cuando hago Zazen. Uso 1 al día así que es estupendo este estuche de 300 unidades.

These are good quality Japanese incense. I have been using them (amongst others from Nippon Kodo) for a number of years. My favourite is the Morningstar sandalwood, however, these are just as good. It gives you a relaxing scent without being too smoky.

Profumo delicato ottimo

These incense sticks emit a deep and soothing sandalwood scent, similar to the one present in traditional rural temples in Japan. I really enjoy using them regularly for the delightful, slightly sweet wooden scent emanating from them.The sticks are 14cm long and long-lasting, making them perfect for perfuming a medium-sized living room.Overall a great value product with authentic and qualitative incense sticks.
