Kyoto Incense - “Ancient Capital” (Koto no Kou) Paulownia Wood Box
A heavy, sweet scent that carries the weight of an old city. Rich and unhurried, the kind of fragrance that settles into a room and stays.
Koto-ko is part of Kousaido’s Koto no Kou series, motifs of the ancient capital rendered in scent.
This one is the deep one: sandalwood as the base, layered with amber and oakmoss. Complex and resinous, adult without being cold.
Presented in a paulownia wood box - kiribako, the same material used in Japan to store precious silk and tea utensils for generations.
The box is worth keeping long after the incense is gone.
30 sticks. Approximately 15 to 17 minutes per stick.
