Highlights

Horikawa is a signature and highly popular incense within Shoyeido's esteemed Horin Series. Crafted by the venerable Kyoto-based incense house Shoyeido. Horikawa, often translated as "River Path," evokes the serene and gentle atmosphere of its namesake, the Horikawa River in Kyoto, aiming to capture a sense of comforting warmth, mellow sweetness, and tranquil nostalgia. It is consistently one of Shoyeido's most beloved blends, cherished for its immediately welcoming and profoundly calming character.

The olfactory profile of Horin Horikawa is meticulously constructed around a heart of fine, smooth Sandalwood, imparting its characteristic sweet, creamy, and deeply woody foundation. Unlike more pungent or sharp incense, Horikawa unfolds with a remarkably soft, almost powdery sweetness that is both rich and gentle.
