Nippon Kodo's many varieties of aloeswood incense produce sublime fragrance, and I'm very grateful that NK offers it to incense lovers who live in countries outside of Japan. I've been enjoying NK as my home fragrance for decades, and it makes every day special and unique. The quality of NK's aromatics and smooth burn is superior to any other maker. NK's Kyara Kongo and other high-end varieties are well worth the investment in "precious wood" that brings joy, pleasure, and improved mental focus with every stick.

I tried three of the most expensive aloeswood and chose this as my preference. This was 4 years ago, and if I recall, this was the midde priced one. Smell preference is too personal to recommend, however.
