couldn't find another thread that really covered this. I've been using the astier de villatte yakushima, tokyo and chalet and they're all really nice but not very long lasting.
Tried diffusers too but they're such a faff.
What's everyone using? Gonna buy some Muji incense later as i've been told they're quite good.
Disclaimer: My flat doesn't stink, just want it to smell really nice when i walk in. Also if anyone's stayed at any mondrian hotel, they have a signature smell and that;s the smell i'd want but i don't think you can buy it.

shoyeido is great value for more traditional japanese style incense. burns clean with a decent lasting aroma
i use kyoto autumn leaves or moss garden for day to day. horikawa is good too but more pricey

Recently bought Perfumer H - Ash incense which is nice.

Also recommend Early of East candles -

Highly recommend Bella Freud signature though - not cheap but it's a treat. Used as the in house fragrance at all James Perse stores which is where I came across it as smells OP.

Mainly Dr.Vrajnes, ambre or oud nobile.
Santa Maria Novella Potpourri in bowls, use inside wardrobes too but its needs replacing, was looking at Tabac hangers or the Buly alabasters.

Plus one for Cire Trudon. Have had Nazareth in the past and it is great.
I have a Muji diffuser; with the gernanium oil, it smells like a spa. It's great.

They were burning old Bape stock out the back that Nigo wouldn't permit in sale

+1 for Earl of East. I did a candle making course at their Hackney workshop earlier this year. It’s a great way to spend and afternoon or give as a gift

Muji oil diffuser with Aesop is the one. First thing I packed in my case coming back to London

It was Nag Champa. Old Greg will back me up on that.

Haven't ever smelled the incense at hideout but supreme did nag champa too. I liked it but after trying it I find it too harsh to burn at home. There are subtler ones posted in this thread that I think are better suited for home smellss
