This is my favorite high grade kyara incense from Nippon Kodo. Unlike Chinese incenses, Japanese kyara is almost always a combination with other woods and herbs leading to a more medicinal quality. You get the calming scent of kyara along with the refreshing mix of other herbs. This is a less spicy kyara which I like. It's altogether a beautiful fragrance and the scent lingers long afterward.

No doubt very good quality. I received four samples from NK from this series:
Mainichi Byakudan
Jinkoh Juzan
Kyara Kongo
Kyara Taikan

I enjoyed a lot and even though I'm no aloeswood expert, I can tell this is high quality. All in the series are great quality. Very good value for the price. The packaging is always a part of the experience for me. It is the impressive Japanese style and the artful treat that I've come to expect.
