Dear Customers: Our products are made from natural medicinal materials and fragrant woods and do not contain any chemical fragrances. As a result, the fragrance is of excellent quality, but not as strong or rich as chemical fragrances. The "rich" mentioned here is a comparison within the realm of natural fragrances. Natural fragrances also tend to be more expensive than chemical fragrances. Each stick of incense weighs approximately 5g, with the number of sticks varying from 24 to 40 depending on the thickness. Natural and chemical incense are completely different fields, and one is not necessarily superior to the other. Japan's chemical industry is more developed than China's, and Japanese chemical incense is also widely popular among Chinese customers. Chemical incense has the advantage of allowing for precise adjustment of the fragrance layer and intensity. Our products are packaged in sealed tubes and wrapped in simple plastic. Therefore, we appreciate your understanding that they are not particularly suitable for gifting. If your product is damaged during shipping, please contact us via DM. We will send you a new product free of charge. We appreciate your continued patronage.

This formula features subtle floral accents and medicinal notes. Its fragrance is subtle and lingering. Burned at a low temperature, the subtle fragrance wafts, clearing thoughts and calming and nourishing the mind.

Mid-burn (mid-burn): The subdued woody scent of agarwood and cinnamon gradually becomes more prominent, followed by the layered, yet subtly sweet, spicy scent of clove, sweet pine, and fennel.
