The Basics to Japanese Incense | Are they Worth it?

The Basics to Japanese Incense | Are they that Good? #homefragrance
In this video I will discuss something a little different from luxury candles. I will give you the basics on Japanese Incense and why they are incense you should be burning. Whether you are using them for meditation, religion, or purifying the space in your home, I found Japanese incense to be some of the best forms of enhancing those environments. Japanese Incense is also luxury home fragrance as the ingredients used to make them are of a higher standard compared to other types of Incense. They are known to be of the highest quality in the world. I love to keep Japanese incense in my collection along with all of my luxury candles.
Thanks for watching!

Yes...I just found them and my wife and I have a better relationship now because we've finally found something we can agree on.( I'm kidding but also not haha) I have a sensitive nose and a lot of cheaper candles and the like give me headaches but she likes these more than anything she has tried before. I love the control we have over what scent we enjoy and when. The other great thing about these is that the scent doesn't linger forever and get old and sour smelling. The short sticks burn about 25 minutes and 10 minutes after it's done burning the scent is gone. Then, you can be done with it or switch up to a different scent without making some odd mixture of old and new.

Getting good quality incense (and especially Japanese incense) is well worth it. It smells nothing like head shop perfume heavy incense. It smells like nature. It smells like a garden or a warm cozy blanket. It is more subtle and inoffensive.

[@kpht1081]

Well said!

[@trewthe]

Short and sweet,exactly what i needed to know with no boring filler,appreciate it!

[@janice.sais.quoi.]

I never liked incense. I got introduced to it from those alternative “hippie” shops and the smell was so offensive and smoky 😂 I fell in LOVE with incense when I stumbled upon Japanese Incense in a small shop in Kyoto. I was blown away at how different and meditative it smelled compared to what I thought incense was. I’ve been looking for where I can buy quality Japanese incense - thanks so much for the recommendations! ❤

[@buysell5504]

I’m glad I did a search for Japanese incense holder, before I start ordering online, or going to the nearest store. Your video is very informative, detail, and not long like a movie, in short you get what you pay for, so for me it will be made in Japan. Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍

[@robertgiudice5257]

This is fantastic production quality for a channel this small. Great work!

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

I'm a huge fan of Japanese incense. I buy Shoyeido mostly, directly from their store in Ginza every time I'm in Tokyo. The important thing for people to know is that Japanese incense doesn't smell AT ALL like that cheap, nasty headshop 'Nag Champa'. It's an entirely different proposition with cultural reasons dictating the fragrance notes, so slightly sweet sandalwood is what you'll get as opposed to dirty patchouli overkill. They are sublime and the smaller sticks with a 15 minute burn time are perfect and make terrific gifts. I forget the name of it, but my favourite is the one is the dark red one followed by the purple labelled one. You have such great taste, I'm glad I accidentally found your channel. :)

[@detrickparnell1315]

Excellent video. Very informative.

[@ShadowPoet]

Just FYI. Aloeswood is just another name for agarwood (or oud, oodh, oudh, ood)--which when infected with a specific fungus, produces resin which impregnates the wood. Kyara is a Japanese grade of oud (the highest actually)--it is very expensive as it is now sadly very rarely found in nature due to overuse and centuries of unsustainable tree felling.

[@RoseTorn411]

I have been watching your videos for a while now and damn you have excellent points and recommendations! Definitely a sub from me! Now with incense i have been curious why there are some for 3-5$ but i was suspicious, and also some ranging 30$, buying Japanese now not only saved me a buck by ordering high quality ones but i also got a holder like you have, thanks brooklyn neighbor 😉

[@unknowndeoxys00]

I'm finally starting to dabble in more good incense myself after getting access to Japanese incense online. It's true, nothing else compares to it. My first was also, Kyo-nishiki. I've yet to try the Sakura blossoms one by the same brand, which apparently is also popular with Kyo-nishiki and Nokiba. My crowning one so far is a recent Baiedo purchase, the Tokusen version of their Kobunboku incense. Fair warning that it's not the best beginner incense like Shoyeido's are, not unless you love strong, wooded scents. Unlit, Tokusen is almost off-putting, roots and soil and camphor as if it was dug straight from the forests. But simultaneously spicy and medicinal from Chinese-style spices (if you know five-spice or Tiger Balm, you know this smell too). When burning, it's a warm sweet wood that lingers and lingers. It's really special, and makes sense why it can be used in sacred applications too. This has convinced me to try other Baiedo incenses someday, while I get through this large box. Still learning how to burn properly too, as I've learned over the years, even delicate Japanese incense is not meant for a small room. Not unless I'm doing it wrong. 🙃 It should be at least the size of a living room, or burn in another area and let the fragrance waft to you.

[@Rootworkernomad44]

[@EricaYE6]

[@kellydyer4572]

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Thanks for the education. I didn't know there were different grades of incense, especially ones that cost upwards of $2k. I wouldn't spend that much even if I was a billionaire, but I guess some people don't care about money. I am sensitive to smells, not a fan usually, but I remember enjoying cheap incense when I was a kid, from the local head shops. I used to burn it, listening to Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, etc, in my room filled with blacklight posters back in the 70s. Those were the days. I'm intrigued to try some of this more refined/subtle Japanese style incense now.

[@janemccord5468]

I can’t remember the kind of incense my great aunt used in the 1970s, but it smelled so good and nothing like the “hippie” incense I have seen in stores like waslmart. The type my great aunt burned looked almost like paper or a coil shape. (I was very young and my memory is fuzzy)

I purchased both 'Autumn Leaves' and 'Moss Garden' after watching your video, and I love them both. I'd recommend trying 'Golden Pavilion' as well; it smells divine!

[@Ms.abundance94]

Therapeutic! You explained it perfectly❤

[@melenahoward]

I am not a fan of patchouli, vanilla, geranium, lemongrass or sage. Sage and lavender make me nauseous and give me a headache. Although they are actually therapeutic and said to relieve headaches and nausea. However, oddly enough some of my favorite blends have small traces of some of these notes. Mahogany and teakwood sometimes has sage or lavender and I love mahogany and teakwood. Vanilla is a beautiful scent in its true form but synthetic does not bring me joy. But I enjoy vanilla absolute mixed within lemon, orange, rose etc. I love florals, citrus and woods. Oud, leather, Tabacco leaf, bourbon, moss, woods, musk, cognac, tonka and a few others I am forgetting. I adore feminine fragrances but in my home I also love masculine home fragrances as well. As always your videos bring me such joy.

Thank you for such great video. I tried the classic size Ernest cire trudon candle and I love it. Could you please explain the difference between a big candle and a small candle? Do you get your money worth more for buying a bigger candle? Thanks a lot!

[@DetailedDream]

Thanks!! Ernesto is one of my faves! Usually, the larger sized candles are great for large spaces, like for filling up an entire home, or if you will be burning outside, like on a terrace for example. The small sizes are great for small spaces like a small apartment or if you will be keeping it in one room of a house.

Great video. How often do you replace the white ash? I’m assuming the ash from the incense falls in the white ash. Do you then just leave it and then pack it down next time you want to use it ?

[@leosullivan9228]

the white rice ash is actually more useful for ancestor ceremonies. you may notice in front of buddhist temples, joss (coreless incense sticks) are placed directly upright into open vessels holding years of pure, fallen ash...
