Shoyeido ‘Gen-roku’ (Returning Spirit) Horin Incense

A balanced, grounded spirit.

Gen-roku is inspired by the vibrant cultural era of late 17th-century Japan. It is a fragrance that celebrates the raw, honest beauty of aromatic woods—offering a scent that is both spirited and deeply restorative.

The Experience: Genroku is defined by its "earthiness". It creates a centred, steady atmosphere that feels very connected to nature. It is an excellent choice for a morning ritual, a yoga practice, or any moment where you want to feel grounded and "present" in your space.

The Scent: A sophisticated blend centred on high-quality sandalwood. Unlike the sweeter Horikawa, Gen-roku features a beautiful balance of subtle "astringent" and "bitter" woody notes. Beneath this dry exterior lies a delicate, understated sweetness that unfurls as the stick burns.

Composition:

• Pure Botanical: Part of the Meiko Horin series, using premium natural woods and resins.
• Coreless Design: Crafted without a bamboo core or charcoal. This ensures the smoke remains light and airy, allowing you to experience the complex, multi-layered notes of the natural wood.
• Thoughtful Packaging: Presented in a convenient slide-open paper box designed to dispense one stick at a time.

Details:

• Includes: 20 sticks + 1 minimalist ceramic holder.
• Burn Time: Approx. 20 minutes.
