Moss Garden Incense Nokiba (500 Sticks)

They smell fantastic. Very soothing and not overpowering. If you want more scent just burn 2 or more with 500pc it’s a good value. I didn’t have a burner so I tossed some old marbles in a wooden bowl. You can use playground sand or whatever you have available. A high quality product from Kyoto. Burn for about 20 minutes. These are pure resin so no bamboo or wood core to get in the way. Also makes for less smoke and clean-up than common stick incense with a core.

Shoyeido's Moss Garden Incense is simply amaIng! I could write paragraph, after paragraph about how this scent moves me. I mean it literally moves me!! The scent is indescribable, it is so complex, yet so amazingly simple. Today a family friend walked in the house and literally followed her nose to my room, she smiled and asked "what is that scent, it smells the air after a warm summer rain". To me, Moss Garden smells like my childhood home, like a mix of wonderful sweet pastries baking, the smell of a freshly cleaned home and the breeze billowing softly through the windows on a hot summer night carrying smells of the evening. The scent makes me feel calm, peaceful, satisfied, happy and full of the love & promise. So strange, that a scent can make me feel so at peace and envoke so many feelings of happiness, warm memories, utter satisfaction, warm summer nights and the feeling of promise. This is truly my favorite scent so far by Shoyeido, however I said the same about White River and River Path, so who knows what I have in store with my next new Shoyeido incense purchase. I'm new to incense. I'm one of those people that used to get an immediate headache, from the odor of burning incense. I could never figure out why the store that I purchased the incense from smelled so good, only to get home and get nauseated with a terrible headache within a few minutes of lighting the incense I purchased from that store only earlier that day. I now, know why, they were burning high quality Japanese incense in the store, probably Shoyeido, and selling low quality, inexpensive Indian or Chinese incense. The scent of Moss Garden can't be described, however it can be felt. I believe that high quality Shoyeido incense is different for each person, envoking and awakening feelings of happiness and pleasure, feeling that your memory corrilates to a scent. These amazing incense created by Shoyeido have the key to open those feelings in you, each scent triggering something a little different in each individual but all of them being of pure pleasure and happiness. The scent is soft yet not faint, it is not overpowering but it is not gentle either. It's too difficult to put into words, my advice to you is order the 500 stick box, believe you'll end up using them all and ordering more, like I just did myself. I can guarantee the 250 stick box will not lay long in my home, I've already given some to my neighbor and my son's girlfriend. Do yourself a favor, buy yourself a box of Shoyeido's Moss Garden, sit back, close your eyes and see where the scent takes you! Enjoy!

If you’re coming from Indian incense, you’ll probably appreciate this incense. It’s nice for a living room, but it might be a bit too much for a smaller room. This is sweeter than I would prefer due to the generous use of benzoin, I think women would like this more than men. When burning in a large room, I can sort of see why this was named “Moss Garden”. There is a woody, herbal, and mineral touch, but the overall scent is more sweet than anything. If you like vanilla candles/incense, you’ll probably love this incense.

I did not read closely enough and missed that these have patchouli as an ingredient. I’m not at all a fan of that scent typically, but I have to say these have really grown on me. The scent is closer to a typical hippie shop incense than I expected because of that ingredient. However, the quality is unmatched here. I would never burn nag champa in my house but these are subtle, complex and lovely. My husband also enjoys the sweet, resinous nature of these and we burn them at night to relax. We are Japanese incense newbies so ”moss garden” was a very good starting place, and has led to more purchases to try out different types. Overall blown away by the subtle nature of incense made in Japan. It’s just enough to be noticed without becoming cloying or obnoxious. Truly an art form! After trying these we just ordered Shoyeido’s River Path, Koyasan Daishido’s Maki, Cedar and Cypress sampler, and Fu-In Kyara from other online retailers. Excited to fall down this rabbit hole! On the wish list for next order: Shoyeido-White Cloud Kunjudo - Karin and Karin select for fall season

Very nice smell. Wish the stick size’s were a tad bigger, but still would recommend these.

If you've burned Japanese "koh" style incense before, you know that the slender, fragile sticks contain no inner bamboo wand, like Indian joss-sticks... they're just the pure rolled incense paste itself. They are famously low-smoke, and they never, ever overpower when burned in a room. Of all the scents that koh comes in, for me, there is none better than Moss Garden, and I've used it for decades. It is a subtle, reassuring, super-soothing scent that seems to have nuances of sandalwood, rosewood, nutmeg, benzoin, patchouly, and vanilla. ie., it's a quite complex smell, not just one "note", somewhat akin to the smell of the "papiers d'Armenie" which Europeans will be familiar with. The scenting oils smell 100% natural to my nose.. no stinky, caustic synthetics here. Burned in the morning when you rise, Moss Garden puts your head in a very beautiful, serene space... ideal for Zen or other meditation sessions, or just creating an amazing, cozy "feel-good" mood in your home. Each stick in this pack burns for about 20min, and it has to be said, the box it comes in is so Japanese-classy... a superb gift. Comes with a little ceramic tile for holding a stick as it burns.

Great value, high quality for a reasonable price, excellent everyday choice.

Now that I have tried Japanese incense I probably will not go back. All the Shoyeido varieties I have burned smell clean and beautiful.

Un incenso raffinatissimo proveniente da Kyoto. Una delle profumazioni più eleganti che io abbia mai sentito. Formato tipico degli incensi giapponesi. Fa poco fumo, ma il profumo si diffonde velocemente comunque. Ho acquistato la confezione da 250 pezzi.

Fragrância excelente, ótimo para utilizar para orações no altar ou mesmo para perfumar o ambiente

Ich bin rundum zufrieden mit diesen Räucherstäbchen. Der Duft ist angenehm intensiv, ohne dabei zu aufdringlich zu sein. Schon nach wenigen Minuten erfüllt ein warmer, harmonischer Geruch den Raum und schafft eine richtig gemütliche Atmosphäre. Die Stäbchen brennen gleichmäßig ab und erzeugen kaum Rauch, was ich als sehr angenehm empfinde. Auch die Brenndauer ist vollkommen ausreichend – ein Stäbchen hält lange genug, um den Raum nachhaltig zu beduften. Ob zur Entspannung, beim Meditieren oder einfach, um eine wohltuende Stimmung zu schaffen: Diese Räucherstäbchen sind perfekt dafür geeignet. Klare Kaufempfehlung für alle, die gute Qualität und angenehme Düfte schätzen. Ich fühle mich jedes Mal an meine Asienreisen zurückversetzt

Perfect! Thank you xx

Hermoso, olor, nada que ver con los comerciales del súper
