Handmade on Awaji Island, Japan, where incense craftsmanship runs deep. No. 002 is built around natural sandalwood and pure sandalwood essential oil, blended with tabu powder and charcoal to highlight the wood’s subtle, authentic warmth.
It’s a true expression of sandalwood: soft, grounded, and comforting in its simplicity. The fragrance develops gently, revealing the nuanced texture and natural depth that only real sandalwood can offer.

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.
