Gosh, this smells beautiful! I hope it gets restocked

I’ve been sitting w this one for a while and I’ve come to think it’s one of the most remarkable smells I’ve ever come across.
The sandal is right up front and obvious, even before you light it.
But the blend is hard to describe.
It’s cool. Like moonlight or damp clay pots or black pepper. And yet delicately spiced, suggesting something ancient or I don’t know what.
I’m sure it’s not for everyone, you almost forget it’s going after a short while, but it’s unquestionably among the best incense I’ve ever come across.

Sorry everyone, it was me who bought all that remained!

Really nice. Sweet but not cloying, spicy but not overpowering. Agarwood notes shine through

Bengal Beauty is definitely an evocative aroma that beautifully balance with the Night Queen sweet, calming scent, creating an uplifting, self-lovinng divine feminine atmosphere.

I must first of all say that I bought the Japanese version of these sticks because I'd heard that they were slightly better than the ones aimed at the western market, although there's supposedly not a huge difference, so I think my review will still be relevant and helpful, but do bear that info in mind.

This is at the top of the Dailies range, and I think it's the only one to have any agarwood. There are also notes of vanilla, and I find this incense overall reminiscent of old books. It's a nice non-attention-grabbing background scent.

If you enjoy this, I'd recommend trying Sei-fu (Fresh Breeze).

I didn't buy this from Lotus Zen, as I wanted the other size pack, but the sticks are the same.

This is a strong (you might want to burn only a small piece at a time), multi-layered, agar-heavy incense that demands attention from the 'listener'. If I say that some of the notes I've had from this include burning rubber, engine oil, salt, flowers, and caramelised sugar, you'll probably say it sounds terrible, but it's not. It's glorious. If you like that sort of thing, I suppose. A background room scent this isn't, but then you're not likely to be looking to pay agarwood prices for that. If you like your agarwood, try this!

If you're feeling uncertain, I recommend trying Sei-fu (Fresh Breeze), which is a bit like a lower-quality version of this (agarwood isn't listed in its ingredients but is definitely present). If you don't like Sei-fu, I'd suggest you're not likely to enjoy this.

Although agarwood isn't a listed ingredient, it's definitely present in this stick; in fact I'd say it's much more prominent than the sandalwood.

This is halfway between Haku-un (White Cloud) at the top of their Dailies range and Misho (Gentle Smile) in their Premium range. If you enjoy the former and want to take a step up, or need a budget (or less powerful) version of the latter, I think this is going to be perfect for you. Having said that, it's also its own thing, and all three have a place in my collection.

For additional comparison, it's quite different from Minorien's Fu-in agarwood and it's worth getting both.

I've bought two rolls of this now and couldn't be without it.

Such a lovely fragrance! I definitely will purchase it again

This works beautifully, and is aesthetically pleasing as well. Tip: when the resin has melted it can be a bit tricky to clean - cut out circles of tin foil, the lids from the resin containers make a good template, these will hold the resin and once cooled peel off easily.

A follow up to my review above re the resin melting. I was contacted within an hour or so of submitting the review by Luke from Zen Incense - with a refund, an apology, and an undertaking to update the product description appropriately. I am very happy about this, and would add that I've been a customer for a few years and have always been impressed by the quality of products and service.

I’m just in receipt of this ( what I call the Buddha’s hand ) so beautifully made & fits nicely on my sacred table. Absolutely love it. Highly recommended

The Mother’s Fragrances are absolutely class, especially the Oudh one. Not only is this high quality made with pure & natural ingredients but every packet sold, a donation is made to a charity in Mali. Now, I feel even better when I light one incense that I’ve contributed to help peoples lives. ☯️

This stuff is reminiscent of some Tibetan style stuff I've run into now and then. It's heavily spiced and complex...deep earthy quality...but not overly sweet at all. Hard to spot the sandal in the mix but who cares, it's great stuff.
I'm gonna burn some right now I think...!

Beautiful aroma

As always, buying incense via the internet can be hit or miss, mostly relying on subjective reviews.
Having been a long-time fan of Tennendo's Omani frankincense I had to try this 'Renzan'premium .

On opening the box the initial fragrance was distinctly what I would describe as deep 'Muskuline', peppery and sweet, with a hint of liquorice., not at all unpleasant.
However, on lighting the incense the aroma changed to become a wonderful spicy musk, with hint of cherry. It is indeed a complex, multilayered incense.
With a light hardly noticeable smoke, It leaves little ash residue, indicating the quality of the base ingredients
The lingering after odour is also agreeable, something that is not often mentioned.

This Renzan premium has now become a firm favourite of mine.
As in the description, this is a most excellent introduction to Japanese fragrance. Try it, you won't be disappointed.
