Shoyeido Magnifiscents – Jewel Series Incense ⁽¹⁴⁾

Expressive incense sticks: four references worth knowing

Every incense stick in this collection has a stronger, more immediately recognisable identity than Shoyeido's classic ranges. These four are the ones to start with:

• Diamond (Power) – Frankincense, sandalwood and wild ginger create a creamy, lightly spiced and luminous blend. The most refined and balanced of the collection, and a natural companion for meditation.
• Blue Topaz (Joy) – Green tea, vanilla and clove produce a warm, almost comforting impression. The most accessible incense in the range and a reliable everyday source of wellbeing.
• Emerald (Awareness) – Fennel, fresh herbs and a soft wood base make this the most unusual incense in the collection: green, aromatic and genuinely memorable.
• Rose Crystal (Love) – Benzoin, spikenard and sandalwood give this a deep, oriental character with a resinous quality reminiscent of refined Tibetan incense traditions. For those drawn to richer resin incense.
