Nippon Kodo Kohden Musk Note – 40 Japanese Incense Sticks

Kohden Musk Note by Nippon Kodo is a Japanese incense with a rich, warm and enveloping musk note. This variety from the Kohden series features a full-bodied, distinctive musk fragrance without using natural musk of animal origin.

The incense sticks are made in Japan and presented in an elegant 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.

A warm and enveloping musk note

Kohden Musk Note has a rich and enveloping fragrance character centred on a musk note. Unlike the woody or spicy varieties in the series, the focus here is not on a particular aromatic wood or spice, but on the soft, full-bodied character of the musk composition.

Nippon Kodo uses no natural musk in this incense. The fragrance therefore contains no musk of animal origin. The complete aromatic composition is not disclosed, so no additional fragrance ingredients are assumed.

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 warm, enveloping fragrance profile, Musk Note offers a distinctive alternative to the agarwood, sandalwood and spice compositions in the Kohden series.
