Shoyeido ‘Horikawa’ (River Path) Horin Incense

A warm, enveloping embrace.

Horikawa is one of Shoyeido’s most cherished modern classics. Named after the river paths of Kyoto, it is a scent that evokes the feeling of a sun-drenched wooden room or a peaceful library – rich, familiar, and deeply nostalgic.

The Experience: Horikawa is defined by its "fullness". It creates a cosy, atmospheric hum in a room, making it the perfect companion for a quiet evening of reflection or for creating a sense of "home" when the weather turns cold outside.

The Scent: A traditional blend centred on the mellow sweetness of high-grade sandalwood. It is rich and "savoury" with a toasted, amber-like warmth that feels incredibly soothing. It leaves a long-lasting, sophisticated trail in the air that is soft and inviting.

Composition:

• Pure Botanical: Part of the Meiko Horin series, crafted in Kyoto using only the finest natural resins and spices.
• Coreless Purity: Created without a bamboo core or charcoal, ensuring the smoke remains thin and clean, allowing the pure sweetness of the sandalwood to shine.
• 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.
