JUST GET THEM!
So 1st of this is a very high quality incense! I can tell they are using natural materials in both smell and visual quality of the sticks. These are stemless bout not as fragile as some other stemless sticks I've used, Still do be careful in handling them. I actually break them in half and burn one half in my bedroom and half in the living room. These are very low smoke to the point that you will have to look hard to seen any and this is great as it does not create the bogging down effect other incense give off. Remember these are stemless!! they will burn quickly.. all stemless incense do. The smell however is lasting.NOW TO WHAT YOUR HERE TO ACTUALLY FIND OUT LOL...THE SMELL!1) These are pretty strong during the burn cycle but not overbearing at all. I see some mention that it's not "strong" and these people are usually use to incense dipped in chemical fragrance. These are natural and not meant to run people out of your house or give your headache. They are to create a mood and relax you, especially for Agarwood. These will fill the entirety of any open space you out them.2) To give you a idea of what these smell like... soon as I opened the box I was hit with a profile that is VERY similar to Oud for Greatness by Initio, Oudmazing by Montale and Parfums de marly Haltane. if you like fragrances in that vein in a less over powering form, this is it! Very premium and the smell of the sticks does not change after the burn cycle starts.3) After the stick has burned the smell will linger for while. after 15 hours I can still smell hints of it (your nose my vary can some people will go nose blind to certain fragrances but I promise.. its still there!) However the point of these is to set a mood, not be a fancy air freshener! This is something you burn when you get home and relax or when you're having a guest(s) over. Or maybe light one in the morning and have something to enjoy when you get back from work.Tip: I would seal these in a ziplock bag. I don't think they have any real agarwood chips in these but there is definitely real agarwood oil in play here. And sealing the box will prevent them from drying out.

It's great, low smoke and low scent.
I lead a meditation group that burns incense at every meeting. More and more attendees are complaining about being incense and perfume averse: "I'm allergic to incense," even though I use only top quality incense from Shoyeido and Asayu Japan. This Asayu low smoke incense has almost no smoke and only a faint scent that doesn't seem to upset people like conventional incense does. It's solved the incense problem for me.I can use this in ceremony requiring incense and don't get pushback from participants anymore. Each piece lasts ~20 min which is a faster burn rate than I'm used to but a small price to pay for being able to continue to burn incense. I'm very happy I found this.

Smells so nice
When I opened the box, the smell is incredible but when I lit it, the smell is softer, still very nice. I lit 3 sticks every morning and so relaxing.I like it’s less smoke and it doesn’t contain chemical flagrant. I wish it wasn’t expensive, that’s the reason I gave 4 stars.

DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE SENSORY ISSUES!
This stuff gave me a horrible fibromyalgia flare up. The chemicals they use are very "sticky" and intense. After smelling the sticks in the box I can still smell the fragrance for about a minute, and still feel it in my nose for a very long time. Nothing from legitimate Japanese incense houses cause problems for me. I did learn my lesson about low smoke though, it's a marketing term for perfumed charcoal.What a terrible first experience with "Japanese incense". If I knew that it was actually made by a budget bonsai tool maker I never would have bought it.In short, this brand is vastly overpriced trash. Stick to Nippon Kodo for perfumed incense. It's cheaper and much higher quality, even if it's considered the fast food of Japanese incense.
