Where should I use incense?
When is a good time to use it?
If you're going to try it, you'd want to know the proper way to use and enjoy it.
There are many ways to enjoy fragrance.
Let us introduce two main ways to enjoy incense: "enjoying the fragrance" and "carrying the fragrance with you."
Enjoying the Fragrance
The best way to enjoy fragrance is to choose the scent you love.
Many people use incense not only to enjoy the aroma itself, but also to relax and calm the mind.
Try incense in various moments of your day.
Relaxation Time
During that groggy moment before bed or right after waking up—using incense can help refresh or unwind your body and mind.
Light incense a little before going to bed; it will burn out before you sleep, but its lingering scent will help you relax and wake up feeling refreshed.
Hobby Time
Listening to music / Watching movies
Incense adds a sensory layer to your favorite world of music or film, creating an extraordinary experience.
Exercise (Yoga, Meditation, Stretching)
Incense helps calm the mind, allowing you to relax or focus during your workout or meditation.
Enjoying a drink
Enjoy your favorite drink surrounded by the gentle aroma of incense—pure bliss.
Focus Time
Incense is also recommended when concentration is needed—like for studying or working.
Try lighting your favorite scent, or switch things up with a new one to reset your mindset.
Carrying & Wearing Fragrance
Wearing your favorite scent—like perfume—can make you feel happy.
But did you know incense can be used in the same way? It’s not as widely known as perfume.
In the Heian period, Japanese nobles would infuse their kimonos with their own custom scents. Why not try wearing traditional Japanese fragrances easily today?
Carrying Fragrance
Keep incense sachets in your bag or pocket to be subtly surrounded by fragrance when out and about.
When wearing kimono, tuck them into your sleeves or hang one on your sash.
Letter and name card sachets are small enough to carry in a wallet or pouch and can add fragrance to personal items.
We offer not only traditional Japanese scents but also floral and Western-style ones—choose your favorite and head out with it!
Wearing Fragrance
When you think of wearing fragrance, perfume probably comes to mind. But there is also incense that you can apply directly to your skin.
This type of incense is warmed by your body heat, gradually releasing its aroma—just like perfume.
You can also scent your clothes by placing sachets in your drawers or closet.
Some sachets are crafted with insect-repellent properties and carefully blended fragrances.
Unlike commercial mothballs, these are designed to intentionally transfer their fragrance to your clothes.
