Kohsaido Hyakuraku Series Incense - Sandalwood

☀️ Century-old wood warmed by the sun: The ultimate calming sanctuary of classic sandalwood blended with creamy, sweet woody notes

If "Agarwood" is the profound and calm anchor, then "Sandalwood" is the most heartwarming and comforting cornerstone of Eastern incense culture.

The "Hyakuraku" series from the century-old Kyoto incense house "Kousaido" uses premium natural sandalwood as its core, carrying on the traditional Kyoto craftsmanship to express the iconic, mellow, and milky woodiness of sandalwood to its fullest.

Unlike the harsh or smoky scent often found in cheap sandalwood incense on the market, this Hyakuraku Sandalwood produces a soft and delicate smoke when ignited. As it lights, the space is instantly filled with a woody aroma reminiscent of wood baked in the afternoon sun—the mellow and gentle sandalwood base is interwoven with delicate, soft, natural milky notes and a lingering sweetness. Like a soft, thick wool blanket, it gently wraps around your frazzled nerves, allowing anxiety and fatigue to slowly melt away.

Housed in a natural paulownia wood drawer box filled with Japanese Zen aesthetic to keep it moisture-proof and fragrant, each box comes with an exclusive custom metal incense holder, making every incense-lighting session a warm reunion of body and mind.
