Nippon Kodo Yume no Yume Butterfly – 12 Japanese Incense Sticks

Yume no Yume Butterfly by Nippon Kodo is a Japanese incense with a warm, floral and spicy fragrance from the poetically designed Yume no Yume (夢の夢) collection. The fragrance composition combines notes of geranium, cinnamon and vanilla, evoking the distinctive atmosphere of a summer night.

The Japanese product name 夏夜の香 (Natsuyo no Ka) can be interpreted as "Fragrance of a Summer Night". The packaging features blue butterflies against a softly blurred background, reflecting the imagery of a peaceful summer night.

Geranium, cinnamon and vanilla – a warm, floral fragrance

The fragrance of Yume no Yume Butterfly brings together three distinct olfactory facets. Geranium contributes a pronounced floral note, cinnamon adds a pleasant spicy warmth, and vanilla gives the composition a soft, slightly sweet depth.

The result is a rich, harmonious fragrance with a floral character and warm, oriental-inspired nuances. Unlike traditional Japanese incense sticks based on sandalwood or agarwood, this incense focuses on a modern, perfume-like fragrance composition.

Geranium, cinnamon and vanilla describe the fragrance notes of the product. The main materials specified by the manufacturer are tabu tree bark and fragrance ingredients. These fragrance notes should therefore not be taken as confirmation of the presence of specific natural botanical extracts or essential oils.

Yume no Yume – Japanese fragrances and the four seasons

The Yume no Yume collection, loosely translated as "Dream of Dreams", combines contemporary Japanese incense fragrances with artistically designed packaging. Its motifs are inspired by nature and the changing seasons.

Butterfly belongs to the summer-themed designs in the series. The depiction of butterflies and the delicate colour transitions give the small box a particularly decorative character.
