More about the ingredients 

We use Santalum spicatum, which grows in eastern Australia and has aromas very similar to Santalum album from India, which is a tree under ecological pressure. Australian sandalwood is a resource controlled by plantations. When a tree is cut down for our aromatic needs, two trees are replanted. Many synthetic perfumes seek to imitate its exceptional aromatic aura.

History of this incense 

Made in Japan (Awaji Island), this traditional Japanese incense is inspired by the "Tale of Genji", a 10th-century novel, the golden age of incense at the Imperial Court, just like the other incense in this collection named Karin. It is an invitation to discover this magnificent novel and this era of flowering of the arts and development of the culture of the olfactory sense. Each noble courtier concocted his own perfume based on precious woods and aromatics with which he impregnated his clothes.

Why is this incense not labeled 100% natural? 

In some recipes, we use a small proportion of artificial fragrances. For example, when the scents are not available in nature, are not olfactory strong enough, or when their use involves the destruction of natural resources currently under ecological pressure. We believe that only natural ingredients provide positive health effects (aromatherapy - aromachology) and avoid synthetic ingredients as much as possible. We ensure, where applicable, that the 2-3% of artificial perfume or coloring added to certain recipes does not pose any health or well-being problems in the context of our use. We carefully select these components, eliminating all those that could be potentially dangerous. In this category of incense, from the point of view of their naturalness, we must objectively consider their positive influence thanks to the 97-98% of natural aromatic materials in their recipes. The 2-3% of synthetic ingredients selected for their safety behave neutrally.
