Hui’an Aloeswood | 惠安沉香

Aloeswood (沉香) is also referred to as agarwood, jinko (Japanese) or oud (Arabic). In Chinese, the name literally translates into “sinking wood”, in reference to the fact that the it is formed when the Aquilaria tree is infected and produces a dark resin which causes the wood to become extremely dense, and sink in water.

Aloeswood is possibly the most revered classic in Chinese incense culture. Its smell is complex and sophisticated, and the Hui’an family in particular is on the sweet and lighter side. It is regarded as a calming yet nourishing ingredient, also widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Main ingredients:Hui’an Aloeswood, Indonesian Nanmu powder

Laoshan Sandalwood | 老山檀香

Laoshan sandalwood (老山檀) literally translates into “old mountain sandalwood”. It is thought to derive from traders referring to wood from older mountains in India, as distinct from newer countries and plantations.

The sandalwood fragrance is has been prized world-over, and is a staple in Chinese incense culture, widely used by Chinese Buddhists. It has a warm and smooth smell often described as creamy or milky. Laoshan sandalwood in particular has a richer, yet gentle and long lasting smell. Sandalwood is known to not only calm and relax, but also have antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Main ingredients:Laoshan Sandalwood, Indonesian Nanmu powder

Aged Cedar | 崖柏香

Historically the most valued cedar in Chinese incense culture is the Ya Bai (崖柏), or Sichuan Thuja. Ya Bai means “cliff cedar” because the variety usually grows in the cracks of cliff rocks in high elevations. The tree excretes large amounts of resin to support its growth in the harsh environment, and is most desirable as an incense ingredient after it dies naturally and ages for a period in the natural environment. Ya Bai is unfortunately an endangered species today, so this aged Chinese Cedar incense is made from a related family of non-protected cedars, and has been chosen for a smell that is similar to the Ya Bai.

The aged Chinese cedar incense has a warm, soothing yet clean smell. It can be used to refresh and detoxify the senses, and is also a pleasant companion for easing into a night of sleep.

Main ingredients:Aged Chinese Cedar, Indonesian Nanmu powder

Perfect Meditation Companion

This high quality incense supports my daily meditation perfectly. I like especially the Laoshan Sandalwood. There is no smokiness to the scent at all. It just emits a light, warm, woody, milky fragrance. It´s not so much that it would be distracting. It just creates a calm and comfy atmosphere in the room.

Smells great, expensive

I appreciate the quality and the scent, but I thought from the website I was getting three containers for $28 (my bad) and it's just a lot to spend on a small supply of incense, for me.
