Japanese Incense Sticks Nippon Oedo-Koh Pine Tree

Product description Japanese Incense Sticks Nippon Oedo-Koh Pine Tree

The Oedo-Koh incense sticks are part of the premium collection by Nippon Kodo, inspired by the life and culture of historic Edo, modern-day Tokyo. Six unique fragrances transport you to the atmosphere of old Japan – its traditional festivals, blossoming parks, bustling streets, and tranquil tea houses.

They are crafted by Japanese master perfumers in Tokyo, who draw on a long-standing tradition of incense making. The elegant packaging is also worth noting – featuring traditional Japanese motifs, it houses the sticks in a paulownia wood box along with a small tin incense holder.

What does Oedo-Koh Pine Tree smell like?

The fresh pine fragrance captures the atmosphere of old Edo, where pine trees once lined the streets and their evergreen branches carried deep symbolic meaning. It was believed that deities dwelled within evergreen trees, making the pine a symbol of good fortune and longevity. Oedo-Koh Pine Tree sticks carry a fresh pine needle scent with subtly resinous and woody undertones. The more pronounced coniferous aroma is complemented by a light powdery touch that gives it a softer, perfume-like character. This fragrance will particularly appeal to those who love the freshness of conifers and aromatic woods.
