Good level of incense aroma whilst to overpowering.

One of my favorites for easing the energy in the room: great for relaxing in.  Not over powering at all, but will fill a room.  Last for 30 minutes and it is enough to linger in the room for another one hour.

Wonderful complex scent with saffron and cumin riding on the base of incense, sandalwood and frankincense. Very expensive, but worth it.

First, this poster likes Musk Oil a lot, so my reviews will be biased.

With that out of the way, this is a quite All-Right Aroma, almost addictive in
its own way.

The item arrived quick and smell quite strong through the package.  I needed incense to cover up the smell of my neighbor's weed habit that reeked in my apartment.  These incense over power that smell and keeps it away for about a day and I only have to burn one.

Not quite as potent as I would prefer, hence 4 stars, but the scent is a great one - authentic to leather.

The fragrance was strong enough to fill my 2 bedroom apartment.  The Seriously Cinnamon is quite honestly one of the est smelling cinnamon wax melts that I have smelt out there.  I definitely will be buying this again.

These are very strong incense with about 70% of em I like or love. Not really into the musky scents but still agreat value instead of paying $1.50 at hadjis store.

I have been using Nippon Kodo's Mainichi Koh Viva Sandalwood for years and decided to give this a chance. I needed a change. I do not have any reference for the smell of aloeswood (kyara) except in perfume, and I can't really smell that here. Given the high price of other Japanese aloeswood incense, I suspect there's very little of it in these sticks, if any at all. Perhaps it is just supposed to evoke the smell of it.

I can smell sandalwood, but there is more here than that. It is not a subtle smell. To those who say they can not smell it, I suspect they either can't put their finger on what it smells like (neither can I) or they're used to Indian incense. These sticks are not subtle. They give off a lot of smoke for Japanese incense. I like that, but it can be a bit much, especially in a small room.

These remind me of a few of Shoyeido's offerings, with more smokiness. The ones I am thinking of aren't specific, but all have varying amounts of cinnamon, patchouli, cloves and benzoin. If you like Japanese incense, and want something that isn't all that subtle, give this a try.

I suspect I'll have to get more of the (less expensive) Mainichi Koh incense because this will probably start grating on me using it every day. It is a strong smell, even if I can't tell you exactly what it smells of. To this American nose, it's simply "quintessential Japanese incense." Sweet and acrid at the same time. Smoky. Lovely but slightly overmuch.

This is incense. Its hard for this to have any problems since its only job is to burn up and smell good. I personally think it smells amazing but others in my family say different. I guess its all in the nose for this one. Its a great buy and 120 is a good bulk amount. The sticks come in in bags so you can use one batch without opening them all.

Nice scent but VERY strong.  The scent can be overpowering.  I had to take it out of the chest in which it was placed because all of the items (pillows, blankets, etc.) reeked of the scent.

A bit stronger than I wanted and the aroma can overwhelm.
Burning it in short bursts is good; longer, and you'll feel like you're in church ALL DAY! :)

It smells really good (it actually smells like it says it would), although it produces more smoke and less incense than I would like.

Really intense and complex aroma and flavor.

Good price but the cent of the incense is so light and delicate that I barely  can smell it , even I use three at one time to see if it stronger  but it is not quite cover the family room 21'x27'.

Scent was a little overpowering at first, now I'm loving it....bought for my husband, as it is one of his favorite flowery smells that remind him of early years

The lavender scent is very strong and it can be a little overwhelming in a smaller space like my apartment. So far it has lasted me a long time and the crackling wick is a nice touch.

The intensity of this incense is low, but still provides a beautiful and delicate fragrance of light cherry tree blossoms.  I use it to meditate as it does not bother me as I focus on my breathing, and I also use it to cleanse a room after cleaning: it helps to balance the energy in the room.  I am left feeling soothed.
