Elemense incense infuses the air with aromatic spirits that draw your senses into the transcendent world of contemplation. Watch as the incense smoke coils and extends around you. Listen to the quiet fall of ash as time slowly burns through the stick. Feel the fragrance gently enveloping you, transporting you into another world. The Japanese characters for Suou, 蘇枋, can be interpreted as “raft of resuscitation”. Notes of sandalwood, oakmoss, amber and muguet awaken feelings of appreciation, gratitude, and contentment. 

Elemense incense sticks are thicker width than normal Japanese incense, bringing an intense scent reminiscent of palo santo. Each box contains 40 sticks of incense packed in a wooden tray with a specially designed metal burner.
