Kawataredoki Incense

The rising sun blots out the slightly bluish night sky, creating a fantastic scene. The title “Kawataredoki” means the time when it is dim and people and things are not clearly visible, especially at dawn.  The slightly bluish sky is represented by marine and ozonic. Herbal notes of eucalyptus, lavender, marjoram, and aromoise impart to the fragrance a sense of clear early morning air and the mysterious aura before sunrise, while exotic floral notes of ylang-ylang and jasmine invite us into another world. Each set comes packaged in a beautiful paper box, perfect for gifting.
