Kousaido Hyakuraku Series Incense - Yuzu

🍊 Golden Fruit Bathed in Morning Light: A Vitality-Restoring Sanctuary of Crisp Japanese Yuzu Blended with Warm Sandalwood

When the gentle winter sun pierces through the mist, golden yuzu fruits hang heavy on the branches, and the air is filled with a refreshing, citrusy fragrance that awakens the spirit.

The "Hyakuraku" series from the century-old Kyoto incense house "Kousaido" utilizes traditional Kyoto incense-making craftsmanship to capture the distinct fresh vitality and warm, mellow sweetness of Japanese yuzu within delicate, curling wisps of smoke.

This is an incredibly vibrant "fresh citrus-woody" incense stick that dispels gloom. Unlike the pungent, chemical feel of mass-market artificial citrus scents, this Hyakuraku "Yuzu" produces a soft, fine trail of smoke when lit. The moment it is ignited, the space is flooded with the natural essential oil fragrance characteristic of freshly picked yuzu peel—a bright, slightly tangy citrus scent that washes over you, accompanied by a subtle, bittersweet undertone of fruit zest, followed by the slow, steady unfolding of warm, natural sandalwood. It quickly disperses the stagnation and stuffiness in the air, infusing the mind and body with pure, sun-drenched vitality.

The incense is housed in a natural paulownia wood drawer box that is steeped in Japanese aesthetics, designed to protect the incense from humidity. A custom-made metal incense holder is included with each box, turning every ritual of sliding open the wooden box to light an incense into a sunny experience that awakens a good mood.
