Daihatsu Perfume Incense Sticks – Wakaba

A Classic Perfume-Style Incense with Lasting Elegance

Wakaba is a long-established perfume-style incense created by Daihatsu, known for its balanced harmony of Western and Eastern sensibilities.

This incense blends a Western fragrance inspired by fresh young leaves with an Eastern perfume tradition, forming a gentle and well-composed aromatic dialogue that has come to represent one of Daihatsu’s signature works.

At its foundation is high-quality Mysore sandalwood from India, long regarded as a noble aromatic wood. Among sandalwood varieties, material from the Mysore region has traditionally been considered especially esteemed, providing a calm and refined woody depth to the composition.

Complementing the sandalwood is a perfume inspired by the image of young leaves. Specially blended by a French perfume house for use in incense, this element introduces a soft, classic perfume character that gradually unfolds when lit.

Wakaba follows the historical lineage of perfume-style incense first developed in the Meiji era. First released in 1971, it has remained popular for decades and continues to be valued as one of Daihatsu’s representative incense creations.

With its gentle sweetness, the lingering fragrance left on clothing is also pleasant, making Wakaba suitable for both daily use and moments when a softly resonant fragrance is desired.
