ChuiWoon HyangDang Jing Kwan Incense Sticks 60 g

Jing Kwan by ChuiWoon HyangDang is a Korean incense with a particularly woody and resinous composition. According to the manufacturer's ingredient list, it contains frankincense (olibanum), agarwood (Aquilaria agallocha), sandalwood (Santalum) and other spices. Jing Kwan thus brings together three classic incense materials in a distinctive Korean fragrance composition.

Like the other incense sticks in this series, Jing Kwan is made without synthetic oils, synthetic binders or artificial fragrances.

Fragrance profile

Jing Kwan has a warm, woody and resinous fragrance with spicy nuances. Frankincense contributes its characteristic balsamic, resinous character, while agarwood gives the fragrance a deeper and more complex woody note. Sandalwood complements the composition with a softer, warm woody base. The additional spices round out the fragrance and add aromatic depth.

Frankincense, agarwood and sandalwood

The combination of these three classic incense materials distinguishes Jing Kwan from the more herbal- or pine-focused compositions in the series. Frankincense has a long tradition as an incense resin, while agarwood and sandalwood are among the most important aromatic woods in Asian incense cultures. In Jing Kwan, these different fragrance worlds are combined with spices to create a Korean incense composition.

Korean incense culture

Incense has a long cultural history in Korea. One important testimony to this tradition is the gilt-bronze incense burner from the 6th-century Baekje Kingdom, which is among the most impressive surviving examples of historical Korean incense culture. Manufacturers such as ChuiWoon HyangDang continue this distinctive tradition through contemporary incense compositions.

Format and burning time

One pack contains 60 g of incense. The incense sticks are approximately 14 cm long and have a burning time of around 40 minutes.

Jing Kwan is made by ChuiWoon HyangDang in South Korea.
