I am familiar with the sandalwood incense by Nippon Kodo sold under the Morningstar brand locally. This incense is not what I would call " full-bodied" and definitely not " strong." It is pleasant, but to me, has less of a sandalwood scent than that packaged under the Morningstar label. I don't believe I will purchase this particular incense again even though I think Nippon Kodo has the best product on the market.

The Mainichi Byakudan is our favorite incense. It is strong but not overwhelming. The scent is pleasant and natural, calming. We order from NipponKodo pretty much exclusively - the variety of incense as well as accessories is terrific.

We are really enjoying our new incense! The delivery was on time and the packaging was lovely. Will order from them again in the future.

I used this outdoors during a meditation in nature and noticed that the flies and mosquitos that usually plague me during my mindfulness exercises disappeared! I recommend at least getting some to try it in your area. I didn’t get a single mosquito bite and I normally get 3-4 during a 10 minute breathing session in my backyard.

No bad base note which is good right from the start, not smokey but not low smoke either if that matters to you. It does have this woody part but it is sweet also. This is a elegant style. Has a pure subtle high note which is what you want in a better product than when you don't want to be assaulted with just some smokey cheap stick. Try this one also.
