ChuiWoon HyangDang Myong-Hyang Incense Sticks 60 g – Wooden Box

Myong-Hyang by ChuiWoon HyangDang is a Korean incense with a particularly multifaceted composition of precious woods, flowers, spices and resin. According to the manufacturer's ingredient list, it contains agarwood (Aquilaria agallocha), white sandalwood (Santalum album), Banks' rose (Rosa banksiae), cassia cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia) and benzoin (Styrax benzoin).

Like the other incense sticks in this series, Myong-Hyang is made without synthetic oils, synthetic binders or artificial fragrances. A distinctive feature of this version is its careful presentation in a Paulownia wooden box. This also makes Myong-Hyang an attractive gift for enthusiasts and connoisseurs of high-quality incense.

Fragrance profile

Myong-Hyang combines warm, deep woody notes with spicy, balsamic and subtly floral facets. Agarwood and white sandalwood form the woody foundation, while cassia cinnamon contributes a warm spiciness and benzoin a soft, balsamic note. Banks' rose adds a floral nuance to the composition. The result is a complex and balanced fragrance profile in which no single note dominates.

A multifaceted Korean incense composition

The composition clearly distinguishes Myong-Hyang from the more pine- or herbal-focused incense sticks by ChuiWoon HyangDang. With agarwood, white sandalwood, rose, cassia cinnamon and benzoin, this incense brings together aromatic materials with very different fragrance characteristics in a distinctive Korean 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.

60 g of incense in a Paulownia wooden box

The box contains 60 g of incense with approximately 120 sticks. The individual incense sticks are approximately 14 cm long and have a burning time of around 30 minutes. The decorative Paulownia wooden box protects the incense and emphasises the distinctive character of this presentation.

Myong-Hyang is made by ChuiWoon HyangDang in South Korea.
