$14.95

Floral incense "Hana-no-Hana" was created in 1911 by Yujiro Kito, a gifted incense master in the Japan's Meiji Era which is around 100 years ago, who fused Japanese incense-making techniques with the Western perfume culture.

More than 100 years after its birth, Hana-no-Hana continues to be loved by many people even today, as having laid the foundation for modern-day floral incense.


Descriptions of the three aromas: Rose (yellow), Lily (green), and Violet (violet)

Gorgeous Rose: a sweet, floral-woody scent.
Based on exquisite roses, Rose is a scent with an accent of spiciness along with tender sweetness of vanilla. Rose is a brilliant, sweet, floral-woody scent that is made of high-quality Indian Sandalwood added with mellow musk-style aroma. 

Fresh Lily: a green-floral-woody scent.
With a focus on fresh white lilies, Lily is a scent that is “green floral” —bittersweet like leafy green. Lily is a dignified, green-floral-woody scent that is made of high-quality Indian Sandalwood added with mellow musk-style aroma. 

Lovely Violet: a powdery, floral-woody scent
Gathered up like a delicate bouquet of lovely violet, Violet is a scent that feels moist and powdery. Violet is a calm, powdery floral-woody scent that is made of quality Indian Sandalwood added with mellow musk-style aroma.

How to Enjoy:

The way to enjoy Hana-no-Hana is to relish the nokoriga that hangs faintly in the air after the incense has burned. When having visitors over, a suggestion is to burn the incense in the room beforehand.
By using it in a remote location and letting the fragrance spread, you can enjoy a delicate and gentle fragrance.

*Nokoriga (lingering fragrance) : The fragrance that lingers faintly in a room after burning an incense.

History of “Hana-no-Hana”:
In 1911 a master of incense-making, Yujiro Kito, originated Japan’s first perfumed incense, “Hana-no-Hana” -- a fusion of Western perfumery and Eastern incense-making. For more than a hundred years after its birth, Nippon Kodo has continued to make this beloved floral incense. Many people continue to adore the deep and brilliant floral fragrance of Hana-no-Hana to this day. 
Now Hana-no-Hana has gone through a transformation while preserving the original fusion of fragrance of the Western and the Eastern cultures. We hope that you enjoy the renewed Hana-no-Hana.
