Nippon Kodo Kayuragi Bitter Orange – 40 Japanese Incense Sticks

Kayuragi Bitter Orange by Nippon Kodo is a Japanese incense with a fresh and lively bitter orange fragrance. Tart, slightly sweet-bitter nuances give this variety a vibrant citrus character within the diverse Kayuragi series.

The 40 Japanese incense sticks are made without bamboo cores and presented together with a small ceramic holder in a paulownia wood box. The smooth surface and expressive colours of the Kayuragi packaging are inspired by the fabrics of traditional Japanese kimonos.

Fresh and slightly sweet-bitter bitter orange

Kayuragi Bitter Orange combines a fresh, invigorating citrus fragrance with tart and slightly sweet-bitter nuances. Compared with the softer fruit notes of other Kayuragi varieties, this composition therefore has a more contrasting and lively character.

Bitter Orange refers to the documented fragrance profile of this incense. The precise aromatic composition is not disclosed. The fragrance profile therefore does not establish the actual use of bitter orange peel, orange essential oil or any other specific botanical ingredients.

Kayuragi – the interplay of fragrance and smoke

The name Kayuragi combines ka, meaning fragrance, with yuragi, the slow, undulating movement of drifting smoke. The concept of the series therefore draws attention both to the fragrance and to the gentle movements of the rising incense smoke.

Each incense stick burns for approximately 25 minutes. The lightweight paulownia wood box protects the sticks from moisture and combines practical storage with the Japanese textile-inspired design of the Kayuragi series.
