Chikuseiko Charcoal Pine

The freshness of a Japanese pine forest, without the sharp, overpowering scent you might expect from traditional incense. Pine brings a different character to the Chikuseikō collection. Fresh, green and gently woody, with the distinctive aromatic quality of pine needles. There's a natural crispness to the fragrance, balanced by a softer, earthy warmth. Rather than smelling like a conventional pine-scented candle or air freshener, it's a more delicate interpretation of the outdoors. Created by KOHCHOSAI KOSUGA, a Japanese bamboo house established in 1898, each slender black incense stick is made using bamboo charcoal and plant-derived fragrance ingredients. The charcoal base helps minimise smoke, allowing the pine fragrance to unfold without the heavy, lingering aroma often associated with traditional incense. Pine trees hold a special place in Japanese culture, symbolising longevity and resilience. Their evergreen character makes them a fitting inspiration for a fragrance that feels fresh and grounding at the same time. Light a stick while working, reading or whenever you want to bring a little of the outdoors inside. Each box contains approximately 225 incense sticks (80g), measuring 13.3 cm each. Please note that the incense holder pictured is sold separately.
