Kito Tenkundo Kunrin 50g (888)

If you like them strong, look no further than this stick, it can’t tell if it’s made with Kyara wood or perfumed to smell like Kyara, is perfect for the occasional special occasion. It is strong, but still lighter than Mon-tin’s classic wet Kyara (I know few stronger ones), this is meditative and a real treat. Expect a single note of burning Kyara and enjoy it for what it is: an incredible incense with the strong scent of aloeswood’s kyara. Enjoy your treat. If it’s between this and four other boxes of random sticks, I’d choose this one over the other four. Treat yourself! It’s a work of muscular refinement.

Kito Tenkundo Kunrin is a very modern take on incense making. It has a lot going on with a variety scents intermixing and coming to attention: bitter, astringent, jasmine, dark woods, light spice and even hints of frankincense. If this were a perfume it would likely sell very well. Note that this incense needs some space, it is not for close up listening.
