In ancient times, scented bags were also called clothing incense, and were used for their ability to transfer fragrance to clothing and to repel insects. In modern times, it has various uses. You can enjoy the scent not only in a chest of drawers for clothes, but also as a welcome scent at the entrance, or by putting it in a bag and transferring the scent to documents and notebooks. If it's a thin type, put it in the inside pocket of your suit and enjoy a stylish look. As a gift, it is also possible to create a fragrance based on the image of the recipient.

Create your own original incense paste using only natural incense ingredients such as powdered sandalwood, dragon brain, and clove! Zuko is a powdered incense that monks apply on their palms as a purifying scent in Buddhism. Among the Japanese scents that are used by transferring the scent to something, it is the only one that can be applied directly to the body. In ancient times, people used to collect the first morning dew that had accumulated on lotus leaves, mix sandalwood with the water, and apply it to their bodies. Unlike liquid scents, it is a powder type, so it has low volatility and does not easily diffuse into the surrounding area, making it a convenient scent that can be used without being noticed by those around you. Recommended for relaxing between work. Also, since you only need to use a small amount and don't apply too much, this item is perfect for those who can't get a strong scent in a place where there are people, but still want to add something. *Some sects, such as Zen Buddhism, do not use incense.
