Tower Incense-15 pieces

The Pear Chamber incense recipe is derived from the archetypal Chinese aromatics text Xiang Sheng 《香乘》, written in the Ming Dynasty (17th century). It is recorded in its 14th scroll as an incense recipe favored by King Li (李主，ruler of Southern China in the 10th Century). Created by his favorite consort for her bed chambers, the recipe involves carving out the center of the Chinese e-pear, filling it with sandalwood and aloeswood powder, steaming the mixture and then blending it into a paste to be rolled into incense.

This is a simple and gentle incense, the smell is light with some sweetness from the pear. It is a pleasant companion to a cup of tea or a book.

Main ingredients:Sandalwood, Aloeswood, E-pear

Laoshan sandalwood (老山檀) literally translates into “old mountain sandalwood”. It is thought to derive from traders referring to wood from older mountains in India, as distinct from newer countries and plantations.

The sandalwood fragrance is has been prized world-over, and is a staple in Chinese incense culture, widely used by Chinese Buddhists. It has a warm and smooth smell often described as creamy or milky. Laoshan sandalwood in particular has a richer, yet gentle and long lasting smell. Sandalwood is known to not only calm and relax, but also have antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Main ingredients:Laoshan Sandalwood, Indonesian Nanmu powder

incense culture is the Ya Bai (崖柏), or Sichuan Thuja. Ya Bai means “cliff cedar” because the variety usually grows in the cracks of cliff rocks in high elevations. The tree excretes large amounts of resin to support its growth in the harsh environment, and is most desirable as an incense ingredient after it dies naturally and ages for a period in the natural environment. Ya Bai is unfortunately an endangered species today, so this aged Chinese Cedar incense is made from a related family of non-protected cedars, and has been chosen for a smell that is similar to the Ya Bai.

The aged Chinese cedar incense has a warm, soothing yet clean smell. It can be used to refresh and detoxify the senses, and is also a pleasant companion for easing into a night of sleep.

Main ingredients:Aged Chinese Cedar, Indonesian Nanmu powder
