Seikado Premium Incense Series, Houn Sandalwood

Houn incense expressing the quiet clarity of natural sandalwood

Seikado’s premium incense series is crafted by blending top-grade agarwood with selected traditional herbal ingredients, creating a refined fragrance with both depth and elegance. A trial-size option containing one stick of each fragrance from the full eight‑item series is also available.

Pure Sandalwood Composition

Houn is designed to evoke the aroma of sandalwood as if the wood itself were gently heated. Its fragrance is purely sandalwood. The blend contains sandalwood powder, sandalwood essential oil, tabu powder as the base material, and charcoal, with no additional fragrance components. For this reason, the surface scent may appear understated, yet once lit, the aroma expands like the quiet, direct scent of sandalwood warmed in the traditional manner.

High Sandalwood Content

This incense contains approximately seventy percent sandalwood, with the remainder consisting only of tabu powder and charcoal. Aside from sandalwood essential oil, no other aromatic agents are used, allowing the character of sandalwood to be expressed with clarity.

A Rare and Traditional Approach

In recent years, high‑quality sandalwood has become increasingly difficult to obtain, and incense made with generous amounts of it is rare. Houn is shaped to satisfy those who appreciate the depth of true sandalwood and prefer an incense that presents its character in a straightforward way.

Quiet, Lingering Presence

Its gentle rise recalls the quiet presence of natural sandalwood.
