nippon kodoKayuragi Incense Sticks - Sandalwood, Japanese Quality Incense

These chopsticks exceeded my expectations. The wood is smooth and sturdy, with no splinters or rough edges. They're comfortable to hold and reusable, making them ideal for both casual dinners and entertaining guests. I also appreciated the simple yet elegant design. Highly recommended if you're looking for reliable and high-quality chopsticks.

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.

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 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.

There’s no going back after trying these!!!! I’ve used incense for 13 years and this is far superior to any scent I’ve ever smelled. My biggest go tos the past few years have been HEM moon and wild berry sweet pea, vanilla, peace of mind..and I’ve definitely wasted money on and been victim to my fair share of random ones that come in enticing packaging that have smelled very chemical, smoky, and burnt.THIS is the only way!!! If you’re accustomed to the larger, bamboo more commercial incense, there will be a couple turn offs with the all natural Japanese incense AT FIRST if you’re accustomed to more commercial incense: for one, they don’t burn nearly as long—not only are they considerably shorter, but there is no bamboo center to slow the burn. However, this is the properties of burning an all natural, no frills incense. Other side of the same token, there is no burnt, smoky smell during or after! It’s pure aromatic, therapeutic, goodness!! Secondly, they are far more delicate; however the package they came in resulted in no breakage and all you have to do is handle them gently. Theres no messy ash that gets all over the place. The ash remains relatively intact for easy disposal. I am not disappointed and am looking forward to trying more scents!

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!

I first bought the Sandalwood incense in 1994 in Disney World and have used it since then! Sandalwood completely removes cat box order when burned near kitties box. Outstanding product from Japan!
