Editor's Note

"Clever modern perfumery in the form of traditional incense sticks - Kousaido’s Kyara is fun, vibrant, yet opulent."

Behind The Creation

Kyara


Kyara, known as "Precious" in ancient Japanese, denotes the highest grade of Agarwood within the traditional Japanese incense-making hierarchy. Originating from specific regions of Vietnam, Kyara matures within Aquilaria trees, infused with mould, insect activities, and other natural phenomena like lightning strikes over the decades. Kousaido's Kyara diverges from convention, blending complementary ingredients to unveil the multifaceted nature of this precious wood, rather than emphasising on the sole prominence of Kyara. The incense sticks are hand cut in small batches and housed in a Paulownia box which enhances their natural fragrance over time.
