The deep, resinous note of frankincense
The frankincense variation of the Nippon Kodo Herb & Earth line offers you a deep, warmly resinous fragrance that, in many cultures, accompanies silence and inner reflection. The scent is full and serious, yet, in keeping with the Japanese tradition, it rises in a restrained line. If you appreciate classic temple-like, sacred scents, you will find this incense especially fitting for evening meditation at home.
Thinner sticks, gentle smoke
The Herb & Earth sticks are thinner than usual, so the smoke is gentler and more airy as well. This is especially appreciated by those living in smaller apartments and by more sensitive users, since it scents a room pleasantly yet in a restrained way. The Japanese style generally creates a softer atmosphere overall.
When to light a stick
The frankincense notes are mainly suited to meditation, prayer, and reflective moments. Evening quiet after a long day can unfold especially well alongside it. A thin stick burns somewhat shorter, which makes it a fine companion for shorter practices. Use it when your mood calls for a deeper, more serious tone.
Use and safety
Place the stick in a stable, heat-resistant holder on a flat surface, and keep distance from curtains and papers. Always ventilate while burning and never leave a glowing stick unattended. Once the ash has cooled, it can be wiped away easily with a soft cloth. With an attentive approach, home use will remain safe over a long period.
Storage and keeping the scent
Store the sticks in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original packaging, away from direct sunlight. This keeps the fragrance fresh for many months. When switching to a new scent, a pause of several hours and ventilation is recommended. In the presence of asthmatic guests or small children, please use the incense in moderation and only for short periods at a time.
