Hinoki: The Northern "Sandalwood"

Incense made from Taiwanese Hinoki wood represents the perfect balance between the freshness of coniferous scents and the creamy delicacy of sandalwood, akin to a "northern sandalwood".
Fragrance: Rich notes of lemon and pine merge with a creamy-powdery softness, creating a unique coniferous sandalwood.


Characteristics: Soft and light, tender, with a rich creaminess, refreshing, delicately woody. The fragrance is filled with bright, calm joy and harmony, where each note finds its perfect place.


Impression: Juicy green woodiness transitions to creamy powderyness, enveloping the space. This scent slowly waltzes around the room, gently altering images and moods.

Distinctiveness: Refined, elegant, and delicate. These incenses create an ambient atmosphere, delicately and unobtrusively filling the room with a subtle ambiance. They do not seek to capture all attention but elegantly and refinedly set the mood.

Often referred to the species Chamaecyparis formosensis, also known as the Taiwanese Cypress, which is unique to the region of Taiwan. This species of tree is valued for its beautiful, fragrant wood, possessing a number of outstanding properties.
