Elemense Incense - Suou, 40 pc.
$ 40.00
For those looking for inspiration or inner peace, a moment of quiet can make a world of difference. 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.

This collection uses Japanese scents traditionally associated with relaxation, such as hinoki, and oakmoss, to cultivate an environment for meditation, prayer, and contemplation.

Centuries ago, monks hung incense spirals above temple ceilings to aid in meditation and prayer. The spiral shape condenses what would be a long stick of incense into a compact coil for a burning time of approximately 2 hours, much longer than ordinary incense sticks or cones.
