Nippon Kodo Kohden Japanese Mint – 40 Japanese Incense Sticks

Kohden Japanese Mint by Nippon Kodo is a Japanese incense with a fresh fragrance composition combining Japanese mint with a note of nutmeg. The invigorating freshness of mint gains a distinctive character from the spicy nuance of nutmeg, setting this variety apart within the Kohden series.

Made in Japan, these incense sticks are presented in a paulownia wood box. The Karakusa design, featuring flowing leaves and scrolling vines, draws on a traditional Japanese ornament. The box contains 40 incense sticks without bamboo cores and a small ceramic holder.

Japanese mint with a note of nutmeg

At the heart of Kohden Japanese Mint is fresh Japanese mint, complemented by a note of nutmeg. This combination of freshness and spice clearly distinguishes the variety from the agarwood and sandalwood fragrances that emphasise woody notes within the series.

The complete aromatic formula is not disclosed. No additional fragrance ingredients are therefore assumed beyond the documented Japanese mint and nutmeg note.

Kohden – passing on aromatic traditions

The Japanese name Kohden (香伝) reflects the idea of passing on fragrances: koh means “fragrance”, while den means “to convey” or “to pass on”. The series is inspired by aromatic materials and fragrances that were once transmitted along ancient trade routes between the Orient and Japan.

These Japanese incense sticks measure approximately 14 cm in length, have no bamboo core and burn for around 30 minutes. With its fresh, slightly spicy profile, Japanese Mint offers a particularly distinctive fragrance within the versatile Kohden series.
