ShoyeidoJapanese Incense Sticks Horin Range Assortment - 20 Stick + Holder

These are the first high quality incense sticks i have decided to spend my money on and it was more than worth it.I have now tried all 5 varieties and they all have they're own distinct scent and my favorite turned out to be River Path or known in Japanese by the name Horiwaka the blend of scents is just astounding when lit (the red stick).I do understand that this is a sample assortment and is supposed to introduce you to the different scents to identify your favorite. They are rather small and only burn for 15-20 minutes and leave a lingering scent for the same time afterwards although nowhere near as noticeable when lit. Every time one goes out i find an almost overwhelming urge to keep the scent going to please my nasal sense.I have now looked at purchasing the coil incense these are originally supposed to crafted in. Though these seem to be rather expensive for the scent I enjoy. Possibly if "Zen Minded" sold the 20 in a packet sticks of the single scent at a cheaper price I would not hesitate to purchase these.Overall I am extremely satisfied with the product, I just want the aroma to endure longer for my own satisfaction.Thank you Zen Minded for introducing me to these wonderful fragrances!
