zafu Posted December 31, 2015 at 03:31 PM Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 at 03:31 PM I used to buy this incense when I was a kid. I have NEVER seen it since. Does anyone know where I can buy this, I don't think it was particularly expensive and i used to get it from a local Martial Arts Shop that sold general Oriental goods? Thanks in advance!! Tony...

Shelley Posted December 31, 2015 at 05:23 PM Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 at 05:23 PM Do you know the actual name of the one you want to buy? There are lots on this website http://www.incensewarehouse.com/Shop-By-Brand_c_486.html You might just have to look around on the internet till you find what you want.

Unfortunately as I live in the UK the shipping is around 20 times the cost of the incense!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oceancalligraphy Posted December 31, 2015 at 08:40 PM Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 at 08:40 PM There's a mix of things going on in that picture. But from what I can make of it: 檀香衛生香 檀香 is Indian Sandalwood, and 衛生香 is like environmental incense, as in to purify the air. It looks like there are some on Taobao. 古城桂花香 古城 seems to be a company. 桂花香 is osmanthus fragrance. This looks to be available on Taobao. 九天象藏香 Not sure what this smells like, but the exact product is available on Taobao. 奇楠香 奇楠 is agarwood.

Do you think you could help me order - I'm very new to Chinese and can't read enough to make the order....sorry to be a nuisance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zafu Posted January 1, 2016 at 10:10 AM Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 at 10:10 AM ...or maybe you know of a site in the UK that's similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edelweis Posted January 2, 2016 at 08:44 AM Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 at 08:44 AM Hmm also the brand logo seems to be identical at the top of most of the packages. So we're looking for a special incense for martial artists made by Gucheng 古城香业 (or a copycat). I had a quick look at their website http://www.eguchengxiangye.com/ but searching for 练功 gave no results... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted January 2, 2016 at 02:21 PM Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 at 02:21 PM Wonder what the OP has to say? or has this just been an exercise in getting us to search incense websites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zafu Posted January 2, 2016 at 04:44 PM Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 at 04:44 PM I have tried several times to post to no avail. I have also informed admin, but not heard anything yet.

anonymoose Posted January 2, 2016 at 04:56 PM Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 at 04:56 PM What is special about 练功专用香? Does it emanate extra 气 or something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted January 2, 2016 at 05:47 PM Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 at 05:47 PM In the UK I would have a look on amazon.uk had a very quick look myself, loads to see, good chance the one you want is there. Also most big cities in the UK have at least one chinese supermarket or even a china town, could be worth a trip to your nearest one.
