Feng Shui Incense Coils Gift Set - 4 Traditional Chinese Scents, 1-Hour Burn, with Holder

Discover the timeless art of incense with the Blissful Zen Gift Box of 4 Flavors Incense Coils, crafted in Yongchun Dapu, Fujian, known as the "Incense Capital of China". The history of incense in China dates back over 5,000 years, where aromatic plants were first used to ward off evil spirits and purify the air. With the unification of China during the Qin and Han dynasties and the expansion of trade routes such as the Silk Road, various spices from Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Europe were introduced to China, enriching the tradition of incense-making.

During the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties, the knowledge of different spices' properties deepened, leading to the creation of unique incense blends known as "fragrant formulas". This marked the evolution from single-ingredient incenses to complex blends, a significant development in incense craftsmanship.

Classification of Incense Products:

Based on the properties of the ingredients, incense products are categorized as natural incense. These are made from natural materials, including plant and animal extracts or Chinese medicinal herbs. In addition to their pleasant fragrances, they offer calming, health-enhancing, and therapeutic effects. Ancient incense was always made from natural ingredients. Natural incense falls into two main categories:

1. Single-ingredient Incense: Made from a single type of natural material, such as sandalwood.  This single-ingredient incense represents the early method of incense use before the Han dynasty.

2. Blended Incense: Made by combining multiple natural ingredients. The production of traditional blended incense requires not only natural raw materials but also a well-balanced formula, strict preparation methods, and precise craftsmanship. Our gift set features this second type of blended incense, carefully crafted using time-honored recipes and techniques.

We present to you some of the most popular traditional Chinese incense blends, carefully crafted using authentic ancient recipes. 

Included Fragrances & Benefits:

• Pear Tent Incense (鹅梨账中香): An ancient recipe passed down for centuries, this incense was originally used in the bedroom of Emperor Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty. It is made by steaming pears with agarwood and sandalwood, allowing the sweet pear juice fragrance to permeate the woods. This incense is highly effective in relieving insomnia, promoting a restful night's sleep and a calm, peaceful mind.

• ErSu Old Bureau (二苏旧局): An ancient Chinese recipe passed down for centuries, this incense combines agarwood, sandalwood, jasmine, frankincense, amber, honey, and other fragrant ingredients to create a sweet, floral aroma ideal for reading, tea ceremonies, and social gatherings. It offers a floral fragrance with hints of fruity notes and the subtle sweetness of frankincense, balanced by the calming scent of sandalwood.

• Ambergris (龙涎香): Is produced in the digestive system of sperm whales and has a unique sweet, earthy aroma. During the Han Dynasty, fishermen found pieces of ambergris in the sea, which, once dried, emitted a long-lasting fragrance. It was highly valued for its scent and was offered to the emperor as a treasure. This blended incense, centered around sandalwood and enriched with ambergris, agarwood, frankincense, and cloves, was traditionally used in the emperor's study to enhance focus and concentration during reading and work.

• Sweet Osmanthus (木樨桂花): Crafted using traditional Chinese incense-making techniques, this blend combines the elegant fragrance of osmanthus with the rich notes of sandalwood and agarwood. The result is a harmonious aroma that accompanies you throughout the seasons, helping to relieve tension, support lung health, and promote overall physical and mental balance.
