Tokusen Shibayama Incense Roll (50 Sticks)

Description

Tokusen Shibayama incense roll contains 50 fragrant incense sticks with a floral-woody aroma. 
The word Tokusen means ‘high quality and excellent’, whilst Shibayama means, ‘mountain meadows.’ Together, this incense translates to mean ‘high quality and excellent incense inspired by mountain meadows’. The incense is not only inspired by the scent of mountain meadows, but also by the feeling of being at one with the natural world. 
The incense is made using high quality natural ingredients, such as aloeswood, and are deliberately made to have no bamboo core for a clean burning experience. When you burn the Tokusen Shibayama incense, you’ll be greeted by a floral-woody aroma with notes of cinnamon, sourced from Vietnam, and tuberose, which comes from Sichhan. These two scents could help conjure up images of meadows on the mountains and delicate flowers dancing in the wind.
