Review on Shoyeido's Golden Pavilion Incense 450 Sticks - Kin-kaku: Experience the Luxurious Aroma of Japanese Tradition! by Dawn Babyiee

I bought these to try the scent as they were very expensive. What a disappointment. First, they are very small compared to other brands. 1.77mm x 115mm or 1/16" x 4 1/2" versus 2.35mm x 149mm or 5/64" x 5 7/8" Second, the fragrance is so delicate that it almost doesn't exist. I tried burning them in a rec room (10ft by 11ft) and there was no smell at all. I got to Burn 7 right away before you could start noticing a faint smell. They burn for about 30 minutes, but time means nothing if there's no smell. Buy brands that state the size of the product like Shin Zuo, Agarwood, they are in most cases higher quality and proud of the products they sell.
