Aia Incense
Regular price
£23.00
Format
Aia is a fragrance of dry, elemental clarity, conceived around guaiacwood
— a material of rare smokiness and quietly resinous depth. This ancient
wood anchors the composition with a low, unhurried intensity: woody,
faintly sweet, with a thread of smoke that settles slowly into the room.
At the heart of encens à la aia, thyme and sage introduce a sharp, sun-dried
herbaceous note — spare and Mediterranean in character, as though cut
from a hillside in full summer heat. Dry amber extends the warmth beneath
them, adding a powdery, resinous resonance that holds the composition in
a lasting, sober stillness.
Cedarwood and hinoki complete the structure with the quiet authority
of aged wood — clean, precise, and deeply rooted in Japanese craft tradition.
Specially handcrafted in Japan, each natural element is carefully chosen
to evoke a sense of timeless elegance rooted in tradition. A sensorial journey
through dry stone, sun-dried herb, and ancient wood.
Available in two sizes. The small contains approximately 25 sticks (10g).
The standard contains approximately 100 sticks (40g), each burning
for around 30 minutes to release a slow, low-smoke, meditative fragrance.
The outer packaging, crafted with Dutch and Japanese paper, reflects a
dedication to materials and techniques that bridge timeless tradition with
contemporary design.
We offer free shipping on orders over £50. Estimated delivery time of 2–4 days.
