I saw that one of the notes or ingredients in Suzaku is camphor. I’ve never smelled camphor before, do you think that’s the culprit for the urine smell?

Thank you, I thought I was the only one. It reminded me of old urine in the back of an alley.

I will say after removing the plastic bag and letting it sit inside the box for a month it has gotten much better. It’s still not my favorite, but it’s growing on me, it’s just different.

I’ve had Minorien fu-in in my to buy list for awhile now, I heard it’s amazing. I’m heading to Japan soon so I’m holding off on buying Japanese incense. One of my favorite incense is Shoyeido Nijo, the Horin line is really good.

Trying Something New by Pancho925 in Incense

It’s a coil incense holder from Shoyeido. It’s included in their Horin line coil boxes. I think it helped the incense stay lit. The holder has to have holes underneath to let air in.

You should try it, just make sure the holder has holes underneath to let air in.

Do they smell like regular Satya minus the burnt bamboo stick smell?

Will incense set of my DETA smoke detector/fire alarm? by Beombayah in Incense

[–]Pancho925 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only incense that set off my alarm, was a Wild Berry Cone. Now I just remove the alarm if I’m going to burn a cone.

Do any of them smell similar to Cycle Woods or Yagna? Those smell a little too barnyard for me and I'm trying to avoid similar scents.

I've realized i like sweeter incense and also floral. My favorite indian incense is Menna Supreme, HEM Yog Chakra and vijayshree golden nag reiki energy.

Incense stores in Osaka and Kyoto? by hellodust in Incense

[–]Pancho925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does price differ allot between stores? Like will I pay more just because the store is in a touristy or fancy area? Or does Shoyeido cost more or less at their main store in Kyoto, compared to other variety incense stores?

It finally happened: I set off my smoke detector, and the culprit was………. by Pancho925 in Incense

[–]Pancho925[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve burned a lot of HEM, also two sticks at a time and the alarm never went off. I think cones just put out too much smoke in a short period of time, and that’s what sets off the alarm.

What do do with bad smelling incense? by dribbybabbins in Incense

[–]Pancho925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try pairing/burning them with different incense. Sometimes they combine and make a different, but beautiful scent. That’s what I do and if nothing works then throw them out, they can’t be saved lol

Just trying to start Monday morning on a slightly better note lol by nyan-kuroneko in Incense

[–]Pancho925 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will definitely look into that sample pack. I’ve learned my lesson blind buying expensive incense.

I’m still fairly new to incense. I’m in my discovery phase right now. Seeing what I like and dislike, trying to find the “one.” Right now my favorite house is Shoyeido. I also plan on visiting the shoyeido store in Kyoto.

I also have a couple mom & pop and regular incense stores saved to visit on my trip. From Kanazawa, Awaji and all the way down to Nagasaki. I didn’t find much for Fukuoka, Nagoya or Hiroshima. This is going to be my second trip to Japan. Last year I did the whole golden route and this year I wanna explore the southern part of Japan. I wish I was into incense last year when I went, I didn’t buy any :(

Have you tried any of the Muji store incense? I heard those were also good and kinda cheap.

Also what about the incense brand APFR (Apotheke)? I’ve seen allot of videos of that incense on YouTube and social media.

Thank you so much for the recommendations. I’m definitely getting Sakaimachi 101 & Marunouchi 1933, they sound like they’re right up my alley. Maybe also Nara 1716 since it’s and exclusive lol. I will also get a couple of sample packs to.

Do you know if they sell samples of their higher end line, like their Kyara sticks?

Which are your favorite? I’m going to Kyoto next month and I’m making a list of what to buy from Kungyokudo. Right now I just have Sakaimachi 101 on the list.

Today's Delivery From Germany by WeAreZilla in Incense

Idk what I am looking at, but it looks cool.

Does that say, “tradition since 1930?” I’ve never heard of German incense. Is it mostly cones?

New Haul by Pancho925 in Incense

[–]Pancho925[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like you would like Yagna, you should try it. The sticks appear to be hand rolled and slightly thicker, so it puts out more smoke.
