Elemense Incense- Sekishin, 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. Sekishin represents the element of "metal" and features grounding notes of agarwood, citse, pink pepper, and everlasting.
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.
About Elemense
Written by a Japanese monk over 600 years ago, “The Ten Virtues of Koh” detailed the benefits and properties of Koh-do, the refined art of incense. Elemense’s incense collection takes its inspiration from this storied tradition with three fragrances designed to cultivate serenity and inner peace through scent. This collection uses Japanese scents traditionally associated with relaxation, such as hinoki, and oakmoss, to cultivate an environment for meditation, prayer, and contemplation.
Materials: Agarwood, Citse, Pink Pepper, Everlasting
Dimensions: Length: 6.75” Width: 2.5”
How to Use: Light the tip of the incense and blow out the flame immediately. Keep away from flammable objects.
