Genbu is a woodsy, inexpensive, burn-it-anytime sandalwood-based incense from our pals at Kousaido. The Kyoto-based incense maker debuted the Shishin line last year, and we warmed up real quick to this mellow, room-elevating scent named for a black tortoise spirit from Japanese lore. The scent is unobtrusive and foresty, perfect for setting a light tone in your space without making too big a fuss. Sandalwood mingles with camphor and cedar for a calming three-wood burn.
