From the Nikko Mountains to Your Home: Our New Incense Ritual
Introducing the latest addition to our Japanese bathing line: incense inspired by the tranquil beauty of the Nikko Mountains. Bringing our best-selling scents, Shinrin-Yoku and Onsen, into a new form, this launch is designed to elevate your daily rituals. Whether you’re seeking the forest’s grounding aroma or the refreshing clarity of a natural hot spring, each stick offers a moment of calm and escape.
Crafted in Nikko, Japan - a region celebrated for its centuries-old incense-making traditions, each stick is made from fine cedar charcoal powder, blended with pure mountain spring water and infused with Earl of East’s signature essential oil blends. The result is an authentic, slow-burning incense that delicately scents the air, complementing any mindful space or self-care ritual.
The Scents
Shinrin-Yoku and Onsen have long been at the heart of our Japanese bathing line, inspired by the restorative power of nature. Shinrin-Yoku, named after the practice of forest bathing, captures the earthy, grounding essence of a forest walk. Onsen, influenced by Japan’s rejuvenating hot springs, evokes the crisp, mineral-rich air of a mountainside retreat. Loved for their ability to transport and transform a space, these scents are now reimagined in incense form—offering a new way to experience their calming and restorative qualities.
