The Kosaido Hyakurakuko incense series has slightly longer individual sticks and a refined palette of scents.
The 40 sticks contained per box burn for around 20-30 minutes each. A small aluminium incense holder is included in the wooden boxes.
A Kyoto based maker, something of the old world charm of that city, finds it way to the incense sticks, which are themselves a precisely chosen mixture of sandalwood and scent essence.
There are four variations in scent availableL
Lavender offers a sweet and fresh rendition of a classic smell, that evokes a relaxing field of purple.
Palo Santo has a wooded sense of refreshment and forest retreat,
White sage is herbal and soothing.
Jinkō (Aloewood / Agarwood) is a heavier scent, with a hint of wooded sweetness.
The boxes are 15.7cm x 3.5cm.
