JAPANESE WOOD INCENSE
Returning Home Incense
A traditional Japanese wood incense with notes of agarwood and sandalwood.
A scent designed to bring you back to yourself.
It opens warm and resinous with notes of agarwood, then unfolds into an earthy sweetness, like a wooden table that has the smoothest patina from years of use.
Gentle ribbons of sandalwood and temple air linger in the room, quietly settling into the space like it's always been there. Think of a warm home filled with old books.
Made on Awaji Island, where Japanese incense first began.
For the end of the day, when nothing more is asked of you.

The origin
It is said that a piece of agarwood washed ashore on Awaji Island in 595 AD. The islanders burned the wood and discovered its beautiful, grounding scent. This was the start to Awaji's deep reverence for fragrance.
With their optimal climate to make and dry incense by the ocean, they began incense production in 1850. They've since been know as the Island of Incense.
