Our "DHARMA JOY" incense sticks use top-grade Vietnamese red soil (紅土) agarwood blended with premium aged agarwood from Hoi An, exuding a sweet and delicate aroma that adds elegance and tranquility to your life.
Vietnamese Red Soil Agarwood is revered for its unique fragrance, often described by Japanese incense enthusiasts as the "scent of dreams." It has a reddish-brown appearance, with thick, solid resin and a hard texture. These qualities allow it to release a consistent and enduring fragrance during burning, providing you with a prolonged aromatic experience.
When heated, it releases a sophisticated floral aroma, reminiscent of a dawn garden, that calms the mind and lifts the spirit. As the floral scents rise and soothe, a fresh fruity note emerges, blending seamlessly and evoking the feeling of an orchard in early bloom. This harmonious combination of floral and fruity scents brings a sense of relaxation and balance. Eventually, the fragrance transitions into a creamy sweetness, soft and enchanting, making you feel like you are in a sweet dream you don’t want to leave.
How to appreciate artisan incense
Prepare. Use a suitable holder and ash dish on a heat-resistant surface in a ventilated room.
Light. Light the tip, then extinguish the flame. Keep away from flammable objects and never leave it unattended.
Notice. Let the fragrance reach you from a distance; do not inhale smoke directly. Follow the opening, the developing layers and the lingering scent.
Pause. Ensure there is fresh air between different fragrances. If you are tasting it with tea, you can either light an agarwood incense at the beginning to tune the space and incorporate it into the tea tasting, or light it afterwards to enhance the transition from the tea experience to the broader atmosphere.
