Handmade Incense Stick: The Authentic Agarwood Selection
Floral | Herbal | Woody
Agarwood, known as 'Jinko' in Japanese, is a precious aromatic material derived from the Aquilaria species in Southeast Asia. Often referred to as 'liquid gold', Agarwood holds a special place in both fine perfumery and traditional incense. In a delightful departure from convention, our Agarwood incense explores an alternative approach of blending complementary ingredients that bring out the multifaceted nature of this precious wood, rather than making it an Agarwood-forward formulation.

About
Agarwood is harvested only in a limited area of South-East Asia.The wood of this tree is white, light and odorless, However, with sufficient time, the forces of nature and the unique functions of the wood itself bring forth the fragrant agarwood aroma treasured since olden times. Of that agarwood, we consider the most refined form of it.Its pure, elegant aroma, which differs from tree to tree, has charmed countless people through the ages.
The fragrance of agarwood derives from the resin produced by the tree to protect itself from harmful attacks by mold or stress. In nature, Agarwood develops within Aquilaria trees, shaped by the transformative forces of mould, insect interactions, and other natural occurrences such as lightning strikes spanning several decades. Consequently, Agarwood from different locations imparts distinct aromas influenced by the local climate and biological processes. This is a fragrance whose characteristics profoundly affect peoples mood and have been favored across epochs, regions, and generations.
