Gyokushodo Traditional Incense Series Ume Shoin (Agarwood)

Umeshoin Traditional Deep Agarwood Incense

The Traditional Incense series is a heritage collection created using abundant aromatic woods such as precious agarwood and high-quality Indian sandalwood, blended according to time-honored methods passed down through generations. Each fragrance represents a distinct classical expression, revealing the natural character of aromatic woods through the opening impression, the burning aroma, and the lingering after-scent.

Umeshoin

Umeshoin is the most profound expression within the Traditional Incense collection, defined by the rich and full-bodied fragrance of premium sinking-grade agarwood. This incense is crafted using only the finest agarwood and sandalwood sourced from Southeast Asia, generously blended according to a proprietary formula handed down since ancient times.

Through this traditional method, the deep resonance of aromatic woods is brought to life with exceptional balance and refinement. Umeshoin offers a fragrance of remarkable depth and richness, where a distinctive mellow roundness and profound body unfold together, representing the pinnacle of traditional incense craftsmanship.
