Highlights
Matsu no Tomo, also known as "Friend of Pine" is one of the premium series incense by Shoyeido. Crafted in Kyoto, Japan, by master blenders using centuries-old recipes and techniques passed down through over twelve generations, this incense offers a truly refined aromatic experience.
This elegant fragrance is a sophisticated blend centered around the essence of fine sandalwood. It harmoniously combines sandalwood with a selection of Chinese medicinal herbs. The result is a gentle, nostalgic, and contemplative aroma that is both warm and cool, with a subtle sweetness.
Shoyeido Premium Series:
It offers a sensory experience elevated beyond the everyday. Unlike mass-produced options that may use synthetic fragrances or fillers, premium incense is typically crafted with high-quality, natural ingredients like precious woods (sandalwood, agarwood/aloeswood), resins, herbs, and natural spices.
⚠️ Important Safety Note: Always burn incense in a well-ventilated area, keep it away from flammable materials, children, and pets, and never leave burning incense unattended. Ensure the burner is stable and on a protected surface, and allow ash and burner to cool completely before handling.
