We use only the highest quality natural ingredients, such as sandalwood and agarwood, sourced sustainably from the forests of East Asia.
Each stick is free from harmful additives and artificial chemicals, ensuring a pure and authentic aromatic experience.
1. Fragrance Selection
Carefully choosing the best ingredients
The perfumer selects a variety of spices, such as plant resin, herbal spices, and wood, according to the desired fragrance.
2. Processing
Preparing ingredients for blending
Different ingredients require different processing methods, like fumigating agarwood, roasting sandalwood, blending with honey, soaking in grain wine, or heating with pear juice.
3. Grinding
Creating the base for incense
The selected spices are ground into a fine powder to prepare them for mixing.
4. Mixing and Pressing
Forming the perfect blend
According to the formula, the powdered spices are mixed to ensure the right ratio and coordination. The mixture is then pressed into molds to form thread incense.
5. Cutting Incense
Ensuring uniformity
Workers cut off the irregular parts of the ends of the incense sticks, preparing them for the next step.
6. Picking Incense
Selecting the best pieces
Workers pick out irregular strips from the batch and straighten slightly curved ones to ensure uniformity.
7. Airing Incense
Enhancing the fragrance
The incense is aired in a ventilated, dry environment for a period to increase the intensity of the fragrance.
8. Drying Incense
Final preparation
The still wet and soft incense is dried in the sun until fully dried. Once dry, the perfumer packs the incense for preservation and use.
