Some incense hits floral, some hits cozy, this one hits mystical. Comes as no surprise as the Kyoto-based Hayashi Ryushodo has been making traditional temple incense for nearly 200 years. With a sandalwood base and top notes of cloves, cinnamon, and spikenard—a Himalayan plant with a musky, almost earthy smell—Choshunko is giving a rich, mellow, holy vibe. We love it for meditation but also long chats with old pals, moody rainy nights, Bill Evans, and afternoons spent reading by the window.
