Frequently asked questions
Learn more about your incense
-
Incense is made from a blend of natural aromatic ingredients - typically woods, resins, herbs, and essential oils that are ground, mixed, and shaped into sticks.
-
You can use incense as often as you like, it really depends on your space and your routine. For most people, one stick a day or a few times a week is ideal. The key is to burn it in a well-ventilated area, allowing the scent to linger naturally without overwhelming the air. Because our incense is made from pure, natural ingredients, it’s gentle enough for regular use, perfect for morning rituals, evening wind-downs, or quiet moments throughout the week.
-
Incense isn’t harmful when it’s made from natural ingredients and burned in moderation with good airflow. The concern comes from synthetic incense, which often contains artificial fragrances, charcoal, and chemical binders that can release irritants when burned.
-
Both create atmosphere in different ways, but it really depends on what’s inside them.

Our natural Japanese incense burns cleanly and naturally, giving you scent that’s beautiful and better for your space.
So while both can set a mood, if you care about what you’re breathing, natural incense is the cleaner, more conscious choice.
