This is a high-grade Tibetan incense produced in the traditional way based on a formulation of Kathok monastery, a place commonly described as the second Bodhigaya.  The formulation is hundreds of years old.  Whether in terms of fragrance, colour, richness and purity of ingredients, it is in a class of its own.  Therefore, where Tibetan incense is concerned, Kathok incense is incomparable.  In Tibet, it is called the King of Incense and is considered to be the best offering that one can give to the Triple Gems.
