Morning Star Lavender by Nippon Kodo combines the traditional form of Japanese incense sticks with a floral fragrance composition centred around lavender. The Morning Star series has been part of the Japanese incense manufacturer's range since the 1960s and is designed for easy, everyday incense burning.
The incense sticks are made in the Japanese style without a bamboo core. This means that no additional scent from a burning wooden stick is produced, allowing the fragrance composition itself to remain more prominent. They also produce less smoke than many incense sticks with a bamboo core.
Morning Star Lavender fragrance
The Lavender variant has a floral, aromatic and gently herbal fragrance reminiscent of the characteristic scent of lavender. The soft floral note combines with the distinctive aromatic facets of lavender to create a balanced composition. Morning Star Lavender is suitable for everyday home fragrance as well as for quiet moments, meditation or yoga.
How to use and burn time
Light the tip of an incense stick and then carefully blow out the flame. The stick will continue to smoulder slowly and release its fragrance. The burn time is approximately 25 minutes per stick.
Morning Star Lavender is available in packs of 50 or 200 incense sticks. Both sizes include a small ceramic holder, so the sticks can be used straight away.
