Shoyeido Evening Zen – Extra-Long Japanese Incense Sticks

Evening Zen by Shoyeido is a traditional Japanese incense from Kyoto, featuring extra-long incense sticks with a burning time of approximately two hours. The composition belongs to the manufacturer's Zen collection and combines warm woody notes with earthy, spicy and balsamic fragrance nuances.

Sandalwood, patchouli, cloves and benzoin

The fragrance of Shoyeido Evening Zen is based on a blend of sandalwood, patchouli, cloves and benzoin resin. Sandalwood provides a soft, warm and woody base, while patchouli contributes a distinctive earthy depth. Cloves complement the composition with aromatic spiciness, and benzoin lends it a gentle, balsamic sweetness.

This combination creates a rich, harmonious incense fragrance with a warm and enveloping character. Evening Zen is particularly suited to creating a peaceful fragrance atmosphere in the evening. The aromatic ingredients mentioned are documented, but they do not constitute a complete formula.

Extra-long incense sticks for extended sessions

Shoyeido's Zen collection is associated with the Japanese tradition of Zazen, or seated meditation. Incense has long been used in this cultural and religious setting. The particularly long incense sticks allow for an extended burning session without the need to light another stick during that time.

Measuring approximately 33 cm in length and with a burning time of around 2 hours, Evening Zen is designed for longer incense-burning sessions. A stable incense holder with a sufficiently large, fireproof base is recommended for use.
