Highlights

Horin Genroku is a distinct incense blend within Shoyeido's premium Horin series, meticulously crafted by the esteemed Japanese incense house. It is named after the vibrant Genroku era (1688–1704), a period renowned in Japanese history for its flourishing arts, expanding commercial economy, and luxurious urban culture. This incense seeks to capture and evoke the rich, sophisticated, and spirited atmosphere of that culturally significant "Golden Age" of the Edo period, primarily through the use of fragrant Sandalwood.

Horin Genroku is characterized by its rich and warm fragrance, firmly centered around the smooth, creamy notes of Sandalwood. The scent profile is further complexified, as described in the product text, by subtle undertones of "astringency and bitterness" which provide depth, leading into a uniquely "reserved sweetness" that balances the composition beautifully.
