[2 Days Until Launch] It's hard to describe the scent...
There is a question I am often asked when I talk about scents.
"What kind of scent is it?"
"Is it a gentle scent? Or is it strong?"
Selling incense is very frustrating because,
you cannot try the scent through text alone
...
So! Today, I will do my best to...
explain the scent of this [Seasonal Limited Incense] "Winter: Rikka (Six Flowers)"!!
Winter is a season where,
without realizing it, both mind and body tend to become tense.
That is why for the [Seasonal Limited Incense] "Winter: Rikka," I blended it with the priority of
loosening up that taut state and creating a protective environment,
rather than trying to "boost energy."
Clove (Choji) is
one of the scents that has been used since ancient times for antibacterial and infection prevention purposes.
Also,
while it is known as a scent that boosts motivation,
it is also said to
calm you down when your feelings are too heightened.
In English, it is called Clove.
Since it is used as a spice in cooking such as curry and chai,
perhaps more people are familiar with this name.
It has a unique spicy scent within its sweet, vanilla-like aroma.
However, personally, I have the impression that the spiciness prevails.
(Partly because what I handle are raw incense materials.)
Tea lovers might be well aware of it, such as during the Christmas season.
*The photo shows something easy to understand.
I am not using that actual shape.
Because it would pop out of the Japanese paper. (Haha)
In winter, days when your energy drops and days when you are too tense tend to alternate.
I feel that Clove is a scent that
gently brings that fluctuation back to the center.
Cinnamon (Keihi) is said to
help with blood circulation and the recovery of immune strength.
Also, it has been cherished as a scent that
helps regain vitality or
aligns sensations that tend to fall apart, like the mind and body, or the right and left brain.
It has been cherished as such a scent.
I think more people are familiar with this scent by its English name, Cinnamon.
That scent which has a unique sweetness,
yet also feels cool within it.
*This photo also shows something easy to understand.
I am not using the size shown in the photo.
Because it wouldn't fit in the scent bag. (Haha)
In winter,
there are more times when you feel that your body cannot keep up even though your mind understands.
Cinnamon is a presence that gently adjusts that gap.
The [Seasonal Limited Incense] "Winter: Rikka" is blended with these Cloves and Cinnamon at its core,
to become a strong ally for you as you spend the winter.
The first thing that reaches you is the nostalgic, enveloping, sweet fragrance of cinnamon.
Reminiscent of a library on a rainy day or a well-worn wooden desk,
this quiet, warm scent softens the corners of the room.
Layered over that is the dignified spiciness of cloves.
It is not just sweet; the faint, sharp sensation that passes through the nose
brings a sense of cleanliness that seems to instantly clear the stagnant air.
When these two blend together, it is like walking through the corridors of a temple,
or perhaps,
like brewing warm spiced tea in a hideaway deep in a quiet forest,
creating a special scent where "silence and warmth" coexist.
What do you think (*^^*)?
I would be happy if I managed to convey even a little bit of it,
and if you find yourself thinking, "If it's that kind of scent, I definitely want it!"
I would be even happier!
Sales start the day after tomorrow, Wednesday, February 4th.
I am preparing everything with care, so please wait just a little longer.
Thank you for reading today as well.
