Made by hand on Awaji Island, Japan, where incense craft has been refined for centuries. No. 007 offers a modern interpretation of sandalwood, created with synthetic sandalwood molecules such as Javanol and Polysantol, developed to replicate sandalwood’s richness without using the wood itself.
As natural sandalwood becomes harder to source due to deforestation and climate pressures, these materials provide a more sustainable and consistent alternative. The result is a smooth, balanced sandalwood fragrance that feels contemporary yet deeply rooted.

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.
