A perfumer and painter’s shared love of burning traditional incense, delicately scented with ROSE WITH INSECT.

This limited-edition, unique extra-large incense is crafted by one of the few remaining traditional incense makers in Japan - who also supplies local Buddhist temples and monasteries. Each stick is made without dyes, chemicals, or additives.

In ROSE WITH INSECT, a delicate classic is subverted with a darker touch. Like the petrol-blue iridescence of an insect against the chiffon pinks of a painted bouquet, the interplay of light and dark is perfected to create a radical new beauty for the festive season.

Notes of immortelle, honey, orange flower, cardamom and birch tar come together to subvert a delicate classic with a darker touch — a play of light and shadow to reveal radical new beauty this festive season.
