The character of sandalwood
'Byakudan' means sandalwood in Japanese tradition, one of the most beloved incense materials. It gives a warm, creamy-woody fragrance with a delicate sweetish nuance that feels calming. The sticks burn slowly and evenly, and gently spread their fragrance through your space.
What we offer it for
It is worth lighting when you wish to settle down in the evening, or to create a welcoming, homely atmosphere in your home. Many feel the fragrance supports inward attention, so it is also a popular companion to meditative practice. You may also choose it for calm reading. It is important to burn the stick in an upright position, because a tilted shaft drops ash irregularly and the fine fragrance layers also unfold less clearly. A quiet, calm room always offers a richer experience for your daily moments.
How it unfolds
The sandalwood fragrance opens slowly and evenly. You will perceive it most richly in a medium-sized room, but it also works well in a smaller space if you leave a window slightly open. Depending on stick length, it provides 25-40 minutes of burning time.
Correct use
Place it on a stable, fireproof holder, light the tip, and after the ember burns evenly, gently blow out the flame. Choose the spot where the ash falls with care. Never leave the stick unattended. You can experiment with the frequency of use according to your taste: some people burn one short stick daily, others only once a week for special occasions. Slowly getting to know these subtle fragrances is itself part of the experience.
Storage
Keep it in its original packaging, in a dry, cool, light-protected place. This way the delicate fragrance of sandalwood is preserved for a long time. Keep it away from children and pets.
