Gotta agree about the Black Sacra frankincense, it’s awesome! Less citrusy than green hojari, more like a honey caramel but not too sweet. Lots of oil content, doesn’t look as nice hojari but smells amazing. When it’s raining or cold out, it’s even better!

Got mine from Dan at Apothecarys Garden on Etsy, his listing has good info:

Highly underrated and undervalued indeed. Thanks for the link :D

question for some of you more experience burners, I do not get the agarwood burning at all, try many different types and it is just not for me. But I like very much burning frankincense resin only the green hojari type. I will like to get some frankincense sticks already try few different types sticks from etsy but none of them smells like the actual resin. Are the sticks same like the frankincense oil smells very different from the actual resin?
Try www.fredsoll.com/ he uses alot of resin in his sticks. the best frankinscense on a stick i ever bought….

Grandawood agarwood powder. on low heat really pleasant smell but not as intense as agarwood chips. . dissipates fast when not heating

Grandawood superior incense : a bit smokey for me, after the smoke settles down a subtle agarwood smell lingers. i prefer the powder but the scent doesn't last as long as the incense does.

It is Sunday and on Sundays I like to burn resins (someday agarwood will be burnt but for now I am content with agar in blends and oils). I am burning some very nice Dragon's Blood resin today. I tried to burn it twice already but both times without succes as the charcoal was too hot I guess. Today I waited for the charcoal to turn to ash (90%) and finally the smell came out great. What a glorious scent it leaves that lingers in the room.

Heating a Incense ball on low heat on a flat burner tonight.
Al Hashimi Philipino Sinking wood dusted and mixed into vanilla infused ambergris honey. It was made into a fine paste and then rolled into small balls .
Such a decadence that engulfs the space settling on everything it touches , the whole room has become magnetized and animalistic . Something to burn for your lover i think or to enchant one :)

Got the charcaol going and then put on a mica square.

added sliver of myore sandalwood ... waited a minute or so and voila ... creamy sweet fragrance ... kept on coming from the small piece. Unbelievable!

and then i added a small sliver of Krassana .. and the two begin to sing together .. nice combo !!

the sandal is going on now..

Just made my day .. :clapping::clapping:

Someday, add some Frankincense as well.
The sequence I adopt is:
Frankincense
Sandal
Oud
Sandal+Oud

Today I tried East Indonesian from Oudimentary and I'm not convinced. Anyone try this one before?
