Encense à la Aquilaria + Boîte en Porcelaine

$578.50 NZD

Housed in a limited-edition, handcrafted Japanese porcelain box, the design seamlessly merges form and function with an integrated incense holder built into the lid. Each porcelain box is individually crafted, bearing subtle variations that render every piece unique.

Aquilaria is a fragrance of rare distinction composed/conceived around one of the rarest materials: agarwood. This revered wood anchors the scent with an enveloping, resinous and smoky aroma, evocative of hay drying in the sun. At the heart of encens à la aquilaria lies the powdery warmth of sandalwood, a softer note that adds a subtle depth to the composition. Patchouli infuses the fragrance with earthiness and a sweet, oriental character.

Specially handcrafted in Japan, each natural element is carefully chosen to evoke a sense of timeless elegance rooted in tradition. A sensorial journey through woods, warmth, and wilderness.

Packaged with approximately 100 sticks (40g), each burning for around 30 minutes to release a slow, low-smoke, meditative fragrance. The outer packaging, crafted with Dutch and Japanese paper, reflects a dedication to materials and techniques that bridge timeless tradition with contemporary design.
