Review on 🌸 Authentic Morning Star Japanese Incense Sticks - 6 Boxes of 50 Sandlewood Scent Sticks (Sage, Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Musk, Frankincense and Myrrh) by Sony Bailey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice strong scent but not too unique in smell and small

I won't lie - I've seen some of the lower reviews saying how small they are and given the rave reviews for 5 stars about the scent I thought quality was the most important thing! I was disappointed (expectation) with how small they actually were. I think it was just a human reaction. But the Japanese label and the initial smell inside the box gave me some hope. As mentioned in other reviews, cedar and sandalwood are among the best and most notable scents. I prefer myrrh, frankincense and sage. The sage wasn't great (still smelled like I was going to an incense place, but there wasn't really a distinctive smell other than incense). Now I burn myrrh and it doesn't have that sharp, overpowering odor that I'm used to and smells just like sage. They hold up decently and light up more easily than the larger sticks you can buy elsewhere (like Flora Classique Inc). However, given the price, I think I'll look elsewhere for cheaper stuff. Incense sticks are pretty ceramic squares. I hope incense will save the situation even more. If not, I'll save cedar and sandalwood for my personal D&D games when the COVID quarantine is over!
