Literati is a traditional Chinese incense blend inspired by the timeless spirit of scholars, poets, and artists.

Its gentle creamy sweetness unfolds alongside soft woody warmth, creating a fragrance that encourages curiosity, reflection, and creative flow. Rather than demanding attention, it quietly accompanies long hours of reading, writing, painting, or thoughtful conversation.

Inspired by centuries of literary tradition, Literati transforms everyday moments into opportunities for imagination, expression, and meaningful work.

Each box contains approximately 100–110 handcrafted incense sticks, with a burn time of approximately 60–75 minutes per stick.

Fragrance Profile

Literati opens with a delicate creamy sweetness, followed by smooth woody warmth and subtle aromatic complexity. Its refined character creates a calm atmosphere in which ideas can unfold naturally.

Daily Ritual
