Japanese Incense Sticks Nippon KOHDEN Musk Note

Product description Japanese Incense Sticks Nippon KOHDEN Musk Note

Nippon KOHDEN Musk Note Japanese Incense Sticks are part of the refined collection of traditional fragrances by Nippon Kodo, inspired by rare aromatic materials that made their way to Japan along the Silk Road over centuries. Each fragrance in this line has its own unique formula, crafted using aromatic woods, herbs, spices, and other carefully selected ingredients.

Musk Note evokes the sensual, warm scent of musk, prized in perfumery for its depth and long-lasting character. Nippon Kodo has created a proprietary musk composition for these sticks, complemented by peony root bark and aromatic spikenard. The fragrance is rich, velvety, and gently spiced, with elegant floral undertones. Its distinctive character shines especially during evening relaxation or moments of meditation.

The sticks are coreless (no bamboo core), measure approximately 14 cm, and each burns for around 30 minutes. The elegant box, adorned with a traditional Japanese botanical motif, contains 40 sticks wrapped in fine paper. A holder is also included.

Nippon Kodo – over 400 years of Japanese fragrance tradition

Nippon Kodo is one of the most respected and renowned incense manufacturers in the world. Their story began over 400 years ago, when master perfumers created aromatic compositions for the Japanese imperial court. Deep knowledge of precious woods, herbs, and natural aromatic materials has been passed down from generation to generation, forming the foundation of everything Nippon Kodo creates to this day. Every stick carries a piece of that tradition — precise craftsmanship, finely balanced fragrances, and the distinctly Japanese sensitivity for harmony and detail.
