Made by hand on Awaji Island, Japan, where incense craft has been refined for centuries. No. 007 offers a modern take on sandalwood, built from Javanol, a fragrance molecule that captures sandalwood’s creamy warmth and gentle woodiness without using the wood itself.
As natural sandalwood grows harder to source due to deforestation and climate pressures, Javanol offers a sustainable and consistent alternative. The result is a smooth, radiant sandalwood fragrance with soft resinous depth and a polished, contemporary finish.

About the Packaging
Each IYÉ incense box is crafted to be as durable and refined as a traditional wooden case while remaining fully sustainable. The thick paperboard is made from recycled materials, including milk cartons and high-grade paper collected from homes and factories.
In Japan, beverage cartons are made from exceptionally pure pulp, often called “honor paper,” a phrase that reflects respect for good materials. Once the incense is finished, the labels can be removed, and the box repurposed for keepsakes, matches, or regifting.
