Japanese Incense Sticks Nippon KOHDEN Japanese Mint

Product description Japanese Incense Sticks Nippon KOHDEN Japanese Mint

Nippon KOHDEN Japanese Mint incense sticks are part of the refined collection of traditional fragrances by Nippon Kodo, inspired by rare aromatic ingredients that traveled to Japan along the Silk Road for centuries. Each fragrance in this line has its own unique formula, incorporating aromatic woods, herbs, spices, and other carefully selected ingredients.

Mint as a Fragrance Ingredient – Origins and Properties

Japanese mint originates from Western Asia and is one of the longest-used aromatic herbs in the world. Its scent is cooling, piercingly sweet, and clean. Mint has traditionally been used to stimulate the mind and nerves, improve concentration, and provide relief from fatigue. It has long been regarded as a visionary plant – believed to bring prophetic dreams. In these incense sticks, it is complemented by borneol, which enhances its cooling character, and nutmeg, which adds a subtle depth to the overall composition.

The sticks are coreless, measure approximately 14 cm, and each burns for around 30 minutes. An elegant box featuring a traditional Japanese botanical motif contains 40 sticks wrapped in delicate paper. A holder is also included.
