Mystic Jade is part of Shoyeido's Jewel or Gem series - originally four scents, then increased to eight. They are widely available across the globe. Via the Shoyeido site in the US, LotusZen in the UK, and PadmaStore in the EU, for example.
The ingredients are give as sandalwood, myrrh, clove, and spices, and represents "Peace". The dusky brown grey stick smells of coriander, turmeric, school rubber, and far distant wood and vague resin. It's quite attractive, but again in a fairly neutral manner. The scent is fairly woody ash on the burn - not actually unpleasant, there are those spices to keep it interesting and moderately attractive, but rather more like a cheap Indian bamboo core joss stick than I thought I would be smelling. I think there's not quite enough fragrant ingredients here to overcome the tabuko / makko powder smell. This is definitely my least favourite so far, and I really don't want to spend more time on it, small though it is.
