Shoyeido's Kyoto Autumn Leaves Incense, 450 Sticks - Kyo-nishiki

Nice smell, good value

This is my most favorite scent from Shoyeido.

These incense sticks are wonderful. They remind you of walking thru a lakeside town on a warm fall evening and catching the scent of bonfire and burning leaves and marshmallows all mixed together. The scent is just beautiful. The smoke level is minimal and does not cause you to feel nauseated and isn't headache inducing. The incense sticks themselves are very thin and dainty, so you must be careful when handling so not to break them. They come neatly packaged in a beautifully decorated box like shown in the listing. I am very pleased with my purchase and will be buying these again once they run out! 🍂 🔥 🍂 ❤️

Like other reviewers, I too nursed one 35-stick box of this incense for quite a few years before discovering that more could be purchased online. The sticks in the new box are green in color, whereas the old (long) sticks were brown.The scent is ever-so-slightly different, possibly in the same way that different yarn/fabric dye baths are different from one another . . . But the difference is subtle, nothing I can quite put my finger on. For many years, I just thought of this scent as powdery in the best possible way. Lighting a stick had an immediate impact on my mood, and I tended to experience a sense of elevation related to the powdery quality. It wasn't until a few years later that I recognized cinnamon at the front of this incense, possibly because cinnamon was simply not something I expected to be smelling! But once recognized, the cinnamon is indeed a huge part of the scent profile. This incense is sweet and definitely similar to Plum Blossom (also by Shoyeido). They are both a cut above all the other scents I've tried, although I've never found anything made by this company in any way unpleasant. But Autumn Leaves & Plum Blossom are extra special. Plum Blossom is a little sweeter and a little stronger, and does not seem to contain cinnamon. Autumn Leaves (this box, anyway) is softer and more understated than Plum Blossom, and a bit more powdery. More sandalwood perhaps, and less benzoin. But, as stated above, they are very close in overall effect. If you like one, chances are you'll also enjoy the other.

Wonderful incense. Not cheap smelling but very subtle fragrance. I've bought many fragrances from this brand and all are the best. Will buy again!

I wasn'timpressed at first because I'm used to strongers melling incense. Unlike Nippon Kodo's Ka Fuh line, I can't detect any sandalwood whatsoever. I mostly smell sweet benzoin. It reminds me of cookies or cake baking. Underneath the benzoin there are undertones of tree sap and leaves and warm spices. This is somewhat reminiscent of pumpkin spice candles as another reviewer said. It is best to avoid sitting too close to the incense because the subtle notes are impossible to pick up on when the smoke is really concentrated. It helps to burn it outside too, so that the humidity scatters the scent more. I wasn't fond of this at first, but it is growing on me. The more I use it, the more I smell scents I missed the first time. It really does make me think of burning leaves in the fall, warm spiced tea and cake, pumpkins, and chilly evenings. I just think the scent should be more pronounced, it's so subtle. It needs more scent, less wood smoke. Other than that, I really like the packaging and it portrays its namesake pretty well. It's a lovely scent but if you're used to strong Indian incense like I am, it is a shock to the senses. You may not care for it at first either but give it a chance...it is really nice once you get to know it better!

This is the BEST scent of incense I’ve ever smelled. All of the incense I buy is from Japan. This scent is the best by far. Clean, crisp, smooth scent that doesn’t choke you when you inhale it. The box comes with a generous supply. This one will be my all time favorite. Highly recommend.

Nice natural scent of fragrant autumn leaves and bonfires.

C'est mon premier achat d'encens japonais via Amazon, et j'adore ce produit. Je connaissais d'autres marques mais celle-ci se place. Il est impossible de comparer encens japonais et indien, ce sont à proprement parler deux choses différentes, ce qui fera que vous apprécierez cet encens ou non. Moi personnellement, Je suis conquise, une boîte sympa que Je compte réutiliser plus tard, et pour le prix, environ 450 bâtonnets. À première vue ils paraissent petits et très fins, mais sont très odorants et persistent longtemps après être brûlés. Je compte essayer les autres variétés de la marque. Pour ce qui est de l'envoi, cela à pris un peu de temps, mais Je ne regrette pas.

Diese Räucherstäbchen haben einen feinen Duft, was ich sehr angenehm finde.

I use Kyonishiki incense in my workspace everyday. It's expensive for a 35-stick pack, but *that version* is wonderful for setting a creative work mood, so I was delighted to the find the larger, much more economical pack. But it's very disappointing: the sticks are about half the size, so savings aren't great, but far worse - the quality of the incense is simply *poor*. Each stick burns half-way with the right perfume, but then it simply begins to smell a bit burned.

Sweet but complex layering; a good mix of dryness and floral length

E il terzo tipo di incensi Shoyedo che acquisto, ognuno con fragranza differente, e confermo l'eccelsa qualità. Come gli altri, anche questi bruciano circa 15 minuiti e non lasciano fumi. Delicati, fantastici.
