I heard its very herbal heavy. Is it really so or the green Kyara takes the centerstage?Incense of the night
Kunmeido Tokusen Kyara Tenpyo
I can appreciate this scent far more now after many years smelling oud, than before when I first tried it.
outside of the niche market, you can find some of the most beautiful agar incense from Shoyeido. Their Infinity is expensive, $500 a box, but very worth it. It's agar, kayra, and spices. Their Infinity is almost 100% kyara, with some small amounts of spices that bring out those notes from the kayra. The downsize? It's $750 a box at japanincense.com in San Francisco. I don't regret buying both boxes, but there has to be a cheaper karya out there. (Kayra is a special, aged, sun-baked version of agarwood.)
I read that it is black kyara, but either way, the kyara/agarwood note is not centerstage, more like side by side with the other aromatics. I am always on the fence to get a full box, but that salty/dusty aspect always deters me....otherwise.....awesome stick!I heard its very herbal heavy. Is it really so or the green Kyara takes the centerstage?
That is the first time I heard Kyara expressed that way. Hmmmmmmmm Interesting
Go-un used to be my top favorite, but now it is Baieido Koshiboku.The best Shoyeido Kyara incense stick is the 5cloud Gu Un for me.Oudamberlove gave me many samples of incense including sticks of highest end Kyara.
