Very nice little 30 min burning time sticks by a Nippon Kodo brand (if I remember correctly) they smell really nice, the smell before the burn is a little different though (a little more aloeswoood-y) but I think that's normal for Japanese brands of scents compared to my more accustomed nose to the Indian variants, since Japanese incense are made more with the powder bases, but I do think this one has a synthetic aloeswood (from what I have read on reddit), but high quality synthetic aloeswood oil, so nothing like cheap perfumed incense, just so you know, you wont be getting 100% real aloeswood for this price, its far too endangered and a precious material, but for what it is, it is very delightful, reminds me of a Japanese version of all the Indian Oudhs (another word for aloeswood), nice and relaxing and smells great. Sweet, woody, resinous and definitely spicy. Will be buying again in the future. Very nice sticks.
