Kiite - Japanese Incense

Warm and mesmerizing, this incense opens the heart, stimulates the senses and relaxes. It is very well suited for a massage, an evening with your beloved or artistic work.

The tradition of incense burning entered Japanese culture through Buddhism. One of Buddhism's key teachings is that ignorance, the root source of suffering, can be overcome by cultivating awareness. In Japan, incense burning evolved into a highly refined practice known as Kōdō, which remains a ceremonial art where participants gather to "listen" to the scents. The secret of "listening" to incense resides in focusing less on simply smelling and more on opening the heart and spirit to the fragrance. This practice is believed to awaken and expand the soul, as well as to attune to the rhythms of nature, especially when the scents reflect the current season. Try to listen:

 to the peaceful energy of sandalwood,

 to the divine and seductive feminine of myrrh and its earthy essence,

 to the warmth and sweetness of cinnamon,

 to the vibrant energy of cloves,

 and to the gentle and relaxing touch of lavender.
