Meiko Shibayama Incense Roll - Wood and Herbs

A scent of freedom

The Meiko Shibayama incense has two basic fragrance notes. One is a woody note: It is based on the fragrant sandalwood, combined by our own original blending methods with traditional medicinal herbs and powdery musk that softly rounds up the fragrance. The other is a floral note of delicate cherry blossoms, one of the most appreciated in Japan. The kind and mild scent of Shibayama talks to your heart deeply. Incense with less smoke.
