Incense Recommendation

[RavenMoon4]

Hello,

I was wondering what incense cones you have found you prefer. I ordered some HEM cones from Amazon but they all were very strong and smelled alike. Only about 1/2 would burn too. I just placed an order at 13 moons and purchased several Sandesh brand and one Kamini brand. Thank you for your help.

I think I posted this twice, my apologies.

I rarely use cones or sticks because so many of them are too perfumy for me. I love resins and herbs and oils blended, but the combos are a whole other topic. Sometimes you can find quality resin sticks and they are usually a bit more expensive, but its worth it. Fred Soll's is a good brand.
For a basic "tool" box of pure natural ingredients one could include
*resins
Frankincense
Myrrh
Copal
Dragons blood
*herbs
Rosemary
Lavender
Sage
Juniper berries
*oils (Es)
Cedar
Orange
Lavender
Eucalyptus

I can only tolerate Nippon Kodo brand and their sticks cost less than cones. The Japanese brands are not as perfumed as Indian brands.

I don't burn cones often, once or twice a month, but I like Maroma Eda's cones. They seem a bit more expensive than other brands so if you burn them often they're probably not a good choice. I use their amber mostly, but also use their frankincense and sandalwood.

oh yes! Japanese incense is great Morning Star has so many great scents, Sandalwood, Rose and Jasmine are favs but they are all good. Pine and Cedar yum! If you buy a case of mixed you'll save a few bucks.

I like the hem sticks. They burn well amd i read they are natural with no perfumes.

Burning on charcole or without causes so much Smoke - i still find it hard to figure out how much of what i need.

Nag Champa is the world's most popular incense. The cones do pretty well, and have a consistent good quality but I don't like the excessive smoke from cones. Even though I like their convenience and tidiness, I switched, like I said, to Nippon Kodo's small 20 min sticks to lower the smokey blast.
