💜 The Serene Elegance of a Bygone Era: Violet and Jasmine Woven into a Retro Powdery Floral Scent
"Sumire," or violet, blossoms quietly along Kyoto's spring paths, unostentatious yet exuding an undeniable gentle fragrance. In Japanese literature, sumire often symbolizes the tender, reserved, and elegant beauty of the Orient.
This HANGA ukiyo-e series – Sumire – from Kyoto's renowned incense purveyor Kousaido, transforms this classic and leisurely elegance into wisps of smoke, integrating it into your daily life.
This is an "Oriental Floral" incense with a very gentle formulation and a retro powdery feel. It blends the delicate freshness of violet and jasmine with deep sandalwood. Once lit, its elegant powdery fragrance unfurls in the air, like caressing a luxurious silk kimono – warm, refined, and deeply scholarly, instantly calming a restless mind.
🪵 Fragrance Notes
This classic and profound scent evokes a gentle tenderness that time has refined:
- Top Note: Sweet, herbaceous powder of Sumire (Violet) for a classic and elegant opening.
- Middle Note: Gently blooming Jasmine, adding a delicate, clean, and refined touch.
- Base Note: Classic Sandalwood and warm woody notes for a steady finish, leaving a lingering, tranquil afterglow.
✨ Recommended Scenarios

Customization Services:
We offer the following bespoke services:
• Drilling and Wire Wrapping: We process raw stones into pendants or ornaments, preserving their natural beauty.
• Setting Design: We collaborate with professional artisans to set raw stones into rings, necklaces, or other high-end jewelry, showcasing your personal style.
For products photographed in person, each set has a unique barcode to ensure you receive the exact item shown in the image.
Photography Disclaimer: We insist on authentic photography; all photos are unedited, ensuring that what you see is what you get.
Before each item is dispatched, we degauss and reactivate the gemstone minerals, ensuring each piece is in optimal condition and fosters a better connection with you.
Minerals and crystals, nurtured by nature, inevitably contain various uncontrollable factors during their formation, leading to the incorporation of various impurities. This results in natural phenomena such as ice cracks, cotton-like inclusions, foreign inclusions, bubbles, and pits, which are unavoidable. Variations in the sequence of formation, space, geological environment, temperature, pressure, and other factors of different minerals within a rock lead to different characteristics in terms of crystallization degree, grain size, color, transparency, internal mineral structure, crystal shape, and trace chemical composition, even for the same type of mineral. For example, violent volcanic or crustal movements, without any human interference, generally form deep within the Earth's crust. In specific high-temperature and high-pressure environments, when specific chemical substances reach a saturated state, they gradually crystallize and form. A group of minerals formed under the same genesis and metallogenic stage are called paragenetic minerals. Therefore, minerals and crystals possess unique appearances, and these so-called "imperfections" are evidence of the natural growth of gemstones!
