Choose Your Fragrance

沈香 Aloeswood
Deep, mellow and quietly sweet. A rich woody fragrance with the characteristic depth of aloeswood, creating a calm and contemplative atmosphere.

白檀 Sandalwood
Elegant and gently sweet with a clean woody freshness. One of the most classical and approachable fragrances in the collection.

木蓮 Magnolia
Fresh wood meets a noble floral character, creating a mysterious fragrance that sits between woody and floral. Kousaido describes this as its No. 1 bestselling fragrance.

ジャスミン Jasmine
Refreshing, floral and slightly sensual. A brighter expression within the collection for those who prefer a more immediately fragrant incense.

緑茶 Green Tea
Freshly picked green tea leaves with a lightly roasted impression. Refreshing and aromatic, balancing the characteristic sweetness and gentle astringency associated with Japanese green tea.

乳香 Frankincense
Made with powdered natural frankincense from Ethiopia, giving a distinctive resinous and mysterious fragrance with an ancient character quite different from the Japanese woods.

パロサント Palo Santo
Made with powdered natural Palo Santo from Peru. Gently sweet, woody and refreshing, evoking the freshness of being surrounded by a forest.

柚子 Yuzu
Bright Japanese citrus with gentle sweetness and a subtle bitter edge. Fresh and uplifting, with one of the most immediately recognisable Japanese fragrance profiles in the collection.

A Collection Made for Exploring

Not sure where to begin?

The Hyakuraku-kou 9-Fragrance Incense Set offers nine fragrances in smaller quantities, together with a celadon incense tray — an ideal way to explore the collection before choosing a full-size favourite.

Why We Chose It

A fragrance collection with enough variety to make Japanese incense genuinely easy to explore.

What makes Hyakuraku-kou interesting is its breadth. Traditional Japanese incense woods such as aloeswood and sandalwood sit alongside green tea and yuzu, while jasmine, magnolia, frankincense and Palo Santo take the collection in more contemporary and international directions.

The presentation is equally distinctive. Metallic lines and concentric circles run across every box, while colour identifies each fragrance — creating a collection that feels coordinated without making every scent look the same.

For newcomers, it offers accessible points of entry beyond traditional woody incense. For those already familiar with Japanese fragrance, Aloeswood and Sandalwood provide the deeper, more classical end of the range.

Summary

A colourful full-size incense collection that moves easily between traditional Japanese woods, familiar botanical fragrances and more contemporary aromatic notes.
