INCENSE

August 23, 2019
For me, scents hold many mysteries. A fragrance I once disliked can suddenly become appealing, while a scent I used to adore might suddenly feel too strong, or not strong enough. It largely depends on my physical and mental state at the time.
Nevertheless, scents are always a part of my daily life. Right now, by my bedside, I have an LED candle diffuser, and every night before bed, I look forward to burning one Astier de Villatte incense stick. It only lasts about 15 minutes, but the slightly smoky scent of burning incense wood creates a nostalgic atmosphere by my bedside, which is very comforting 💛
I also light one when I come home from work. Even without lighting it, just having an incense stick in its holder gives off a gentle aroma, so sometimes I forget to light it when I get home late. But after dinner, feeling relaxed, I'll light one when I'm about to watch some TV.
Sometimes I place it in an incense holder. Other times, I place bead-shaped ash on my favorite plate and light it there!
Excuse me 😓 These bead-like ash alternatives are available on Amazon. They're quite cute 💛 Try searching for "crystal beads for Buddhist altars." They're inexpensive ♪
When Astier de Villatte released incense, I thought, "Huh? Wasn't incense an Asian thing?" I somehow associated incense with Buddhist altars, but I was surprised when I smelled it!
It was a French fragrance I had never smelled before! Created by a French perfumer, floral essences were added, resulting in a delicate scent. Each season, new scents are added, forming a series named after cities. They are created by French perfumers, based on the image of each city.
Incense sticks are made by finely powdering and mixing various types of fragrant wood. Delicate scents are unique to Japan. What they use in temples in India and China is, how should I say... It's more about the simply burnt smell prevailing, like a smoky scent.
Benoît and Ivan from Astier de Villatte, during their trip to Awaji Island in Japan, were taking a morning stroll when they passed by an incense workshop, which apparently sparked the idea of making incense. That workshop, run by a husband and wife, was a traditional, handmade one, and they said the delicate fragrance and the meticulous handcrafted process of each stick, naturally dried by the sea breeze, was like art, captivating them completely.
Therefore, among Astier de Villatte's products, incense sticks are the only ones made in Japan. The fact that it caught the eye of Astier, who is particular about everything, is wonderful and something to be very proud of. This is Cool Japan indeed! Incense has become an indispensable part of my life as well! by Reiko
