Hasami Aloeswood Incense

aloeswood is a highly valued scented wood that has been used for centuries to make incense. these sticks are made using natural oils inspired by times gone by.

for this incense the jinkoh (aloeswood) is combined with sandalwood and natural herbal scents to create a deep aroma. remarkably, the young aloeswood tree has no scent. over time it develops an aromatic a very dark and rich resin, with a distinctive and lovely fragrance.

fun fact: the aloeswood wood does not float in the water, due to its density and high percentage of resin. this is why aloeswood is coined “jinkoh” in Japan, as it means ”a fragrant and heavy wood that sinks.”
