Shoyeido's White River Incense, 80 Sticks - Shirikawa

ebenso dezent, wie grossartig. ja, nicht preiswert, aber schlägt um längen alles, was ich kenne.

Smell 5/5 - Awesome incense, I love it a lot. It smells very relaxing, the smoke doesn't bother me at all the way some do, and it's low smoke to begin with. It smells sophisticated and high quality. It has an warm, earthy smell with a slight sweetness. It's not overpowering but it's positive and smooth and foresty and natural in all the best ways. Length 4/5 - The smell lingers for a while after it's done burning which is nice but the sticks were surprisingly smaller than I was expecting even for sticks. I've had Japanese stick incense before, and these were like, half the size. They're only like 2 1/2 inches each and are done burning in maybe 15 mins. Price 5/5 - especially when there are other packs by Shoyeido sold on Amazon (even by the same seller) like the Moss Garden like 500 for $22 and this is 80 for $20... Overall I feel this is a 5/5. I modified my review after using these for a while because the shortness of the sticks I find to be perfect since it helps keep the smoke volume lower without sacrificing any smell. I also felt the quantity you got for the price seemed low, but this is just a higher tier incense from Shoyeido. They actually charge between 2-3x as much on their website for the same tier so this is definitely a really good price for what you get.

Excellent, as are the rest of Shoyeido’s products.

This brand is the only one we’ll use. This scent is such a warm and cozy smell that’s not overpowering for my sensitive nose. I can’t handle synthetic fragrance, so I’m happy to have found these. They definitely burn faster than traditional sticks, but it’s totally worth the trade for me.

My favorite Japanese brand by far. I have tried most of the Shoyeido line and this is up in the top 3 for me. It's sweet and complex- if you like nag champa you will appreciate this scent. It's clean burning - nothing extra to pollute your environment. Many comments on the size. Yes, the sticks are small however - just a single stick will give the same affect as a traditional high quality incense stick. The aroma is intense despite the size. As far as value goes, this is one of the pricey brands but if you are an incense lover you will appreciate spending a few more dollars for the quality and complexity of the product. Yes, I will buy this again. I will probably keep it in my rotation.
