The flower district of Gion in bloom. People passing each other on narrow stone lanes, reddish apricot color, the scent that lingers after someone has already turned the corner.

Kousaidou is a Kyoto incense house. Gion is the old geisha district, layered, storied, still alive. This scent is Sandalwood based, captures the floral softness of the place without being perfumed or heavy. Fresh, slightly sweet, with the warmth of wood underneath.
The kind of incense that makes a room feel like somewhere else entirely.
