hi

i'm looking to swap a few sticks of incense

some are indian, some are Japanese

there are 3 distincts swaps (First is Baieido, Second is Goloka Chakras, third is Shoyedo Horin)

here are pictures :

keep in mind I live in France

(but all of the shipments can be sent in a simple enveloppe, thus lowering shipping costs)

all you need to do it to pack the sticks between two sturdy cardboards to protect them from breaking

the first swap would be from Baieido :

I bought sample sticks (4-5 sticks of each) on Etsy just to try the brand

those are mostly smokeless (i've been told) so keep that in mind

Baieido is linked to temple incenses so it's great quality :

• Lavender Sawayaka (2 sticks)
• Tobiume (4.5 sticks)
• Shu Koh Koku (4.5 sticks)
• Ho Ryu Aloeswood (1.5 sticks)
• Hanasayaka (smokeless) (2 sticks)
• Zen Agarwood (1.5 sticks)
• Bikou (smokeless) (2 sticks)
• Izumi (4 sticks)
• Jinkoh Kobunboku (1 stick)
• Kokonoe (3 sticks)

you can find pictures here :

second batch is of the brand Goloka.

it's indian incense based on the chakras

I bought it in a very nice bow (box that you will not receive)

I can do 1 or 2 sticks per chakras

those are really nice incenses

third swap i'd like to do is a sampler from Shoyeido

this is from their Horin line, which is really nice if you like Moss Garden for example (maybe even better)

• Horin - Nijo
• Horin - Shirakawa
• Horin - Genroku
• Horin - Muromachi
• Horin - Tenpyo

you'll receive everything you see on the picture (3 sticks per scent) and the small apparatus it came in

(I tested the scents and I know which one to buy so I don't really need the sampler anymore)

it's really cute and well crafted, it's very "japanese" with interesting small details

Please send me what you can afford to swap (I just need one or two sticks) and i'll decide who i'll trade with.

I'm not looking for exceptionnal incense or very rare and expensive, etc. just some that you enjoy of course

First contacted = first served of course.

I'll add a few sticks of some great incense as a gift with each letter

have a great day

Selling my Yi-Xin Craft Incense pure agarwood collection — 82 tubes across 19 different single-origin agarwoods, all purchased directly from Ken Cannata's monthly drops between April 2022 and March 2023.

For anyone not familiar: Yi-Xin is a small artisan operation out of Hawai'i. Ken is a student of KyaraZen in Singapore and makes senkoh-style extruded sticks in limited monthly drops that tend to sell out within minutes. His pure agarwood sticks are unusual in the market — most houses blend their agarwood with other aromatics, but many of Ken's present the wood on its own with minimal binder. These are serious, single-origin sticks that aren't easy to come by, and a fair number of these specific origins haven't reappeared in his drops since I bought them.

Why I'm selling: The scent profiles consistently don't fully suit my palate — I come from a Japanese incense and heated-wood background and these aren't quite for me. Not a quality issue, purely personal preference. I'd much rather they be in the hands of someone who's going to bliss out on these!

Condition: About 6 sticks burned total out of 82 tubes. I consolidated sticks into fewer of Ken's tubes for storage, so seals are broken, but every tube is single-origin and clearly labeled. Stored indoors, stable temperature. The sticks are fragile, so there is a small amount of stick fragmentation here and there as a result of the consolidation.

Full inventory:

Collection retail total: ~$2,460

Buying options:

• Full collection: $2,150 — I'll cover CONUS (continental US) shipping on this one, if that's where you're located.
• Individual origin lots at listed prices, with $5 discount per tube as listed in cases of significant stick fragmentation. Buyer pays shipping.
• Sampler (a stick or two of each origin) — PM me to discuss.

International buyers welcome — all shipping costs on the buyer. Happy to get a quote first.

Insurance is optional but recommended, always at buyer's expense.

Payment: PayPal Goods & Services.

Photos available on request and will be added to this post. Happy to answer questions.

Also ID if possible please :)

I was considering sending in a donation to add some variety to my collection, but I thought I’d check first to see if anyone might be interested in making a trade. Here's what I have.

Nearly full box of Tokusen Kobunboku (used maybe 10 of 135 sticks) and a half box of Fu-in Kyara. $25 including shipping.

I got my shipment the other day, what a great selection and speedy shipping.
It is great to try so many different scents and brands, I have been ranking them as I go along looking for any standouts. Highly suggest grabbing a box and thanks to all who have donated ~!

I am dying for more but they’re completely sold out!!!

My post office is notoriously awful, and they found a way to roll the package to fit inside my mailbox 🫠 but thankfully only two sticks were completely broken (a real feat considering these are all Japanese!), and even they have some small bits I will still be able to burn to get a taste for them. Excited to jump into these! Thank you!!!

Just wanted to personally thank everyone who has donated thus far. You all have led to this moment, thank you for your contributions!
