Encens Japonais - Traditional Royal Incense

Our exclusive Traditional Royal Incense from Kyoto offers a refined experience inspired by the ancient art of mon-koh—"listening to incense." Infused with our iconic scent, Encens Japonais, it evokes the timeless and meditative stillness of Japanese shrines with the softness of leather, sandalwood, balsam, and the honeyed bitterness of strawflowers.

Every glowing ember releases a subtle aromatic cloud that drifts from room to room, resonating with ancient traditions. Experience the profound tranquility of incense, where the fragrance is listened to with a sincere and attentive heart, inviting a modern connection to an age-old art.

Aedes de Venustas collaborated with master artisans in Kyoto—renowned for their 300-year royal legacy in traditional craftsmanship—to create this exclusive incense. Marrying Japanese techniques with Aedes' refined perfume oils blended in France, this collection honors the intricate art of incense making.

Master Artisans artfully combine precious woods from mature trees in Vietnam and Malaysia with a 10% concentration of exquisite oils, crafting incense sticks that exude elegance without overwhelming smoke. Each stick is meticulously handcrafted: wood chips are prepared, mixed with perfume oils, pressed, cut, and dried, before being elegantly packaged.

Historically, incense ceremonies trained the senses and fostered deep contemplation. Originating with ancient Egyptians and evolving into essential rituals in Asian cultures, especially Japan, these practices inspire modern gatherings for clarity and tranquility.

In our fast-paced 21st-century world, the quiet ritual of "listening" to the gentle presence of incense is more valuable than ever. Aedes de Venustas invites you to explore the profound tradition inspired by mon-koh, where the aroma resonates with a sense of harmony, much like a sound reverberating in a tranquil space.
