Natural Vietnamese agarwood incense – raw agarwood in thin sticks
This natural Vietnamese agarwood incense, also known as aloeswood, comes in 21 cm thin sticks for a slow and steady burn.
The sticks are advertised as being composed of agarwood powder and Qipi, with no added fragrance. The scent remains woody, dry, deep, and discreet, without any marked artificial notes.
This is a subtle incense, suitable for long periods of activity: reading, writing, drawing, tea ceremonies, calligraphy, or simply setting up a calm workshop environment. The smoke accompanies the session without trying to saturate the space.
INFORMATION
Agarwood, or aloeswood, is sought after for its woody, resinous, and deep fragrance. Here, the thin stick format allows for a steady diffusion, which is simpler to use than resin or powder that needs heating.
Unlike very fragrant or floral incense, this incense remains drier and more discreet. It is suitable for spaces where a stable olfactory presence is desired, without sweet or overpowering scents.
The intensity depends on ventilation, room volume, the incense holder used, and the number of sticks lit. Starting with just one stick allows you to gauge the actual diffusion in the space.

USE & PRECAUTIONS
Place the stick in a stable incense holder, on a flat, heat-resistant surface. Ensure that the ashes will fall properly into the holder throughout the burn.
Light the tip of the stick, let the flame catch for a few seconds, then gently blow it out to leave only the ember.
Never leave burning incense unattended. Keep away from paper, fabric, curtains, dried plants, drafts, children, and pets.
Ventilate the room after use, especially in an enclosed space or if the incense has burned for a long time.
STORAGE
Store the sticks in their tube, in a dry place, away from humidity and direct light.
Avoid storing them near perfumes, essential oils, scented candles, or household products: agarwood can absorb certain surrounding odors.
Handle the sticks with care. Their thinness allows for a steady burn but makes them more susceptible to twisting and impacts.

🤍 Ikane Workshop Tip
Light a single stick at the beginning of your session, then let the burning accompany the rhythm of your work. This incense is most effective when it remains discreet: a woody presence in the background, not a smoke that takes over the entire space.
