CHIE Incense Agarwood

CHIE is the ability to see things as they really are, to recognize the truth in its purest form. This sentiment carries into Nippon Kodo’s CHIE  incense collection. Each fragrance is made with aromatics in powder form culled from their native source—Palo Santo from Peru, Agarwood from Indonesia, Sandalwood from Australia—and no synthetic oils or bamboo core. The result is a clean burning, pure scent that quietly lingers in the air long after the stick has burned down.   Each box includes 30 incense sticks and a ceramic incense holder made in Seto, a 100 year old kiln. Agarwood is known as the “Wood of the Gods” for its woodsy amber fragrance that brings to mind a burning pyre for a ritual. Though it carries a powerful energy, the scent is subtle and enduring. Sourced from its native Indonesia.
