Because a wooden core is never used and there are no synthetics in the blending process Shoyeido incense is pure fragrance, and thus inherently less smoky than most other styles of incense. With the Aesthetics incense line Shoyeido has made their least smoky sticks yet, without sacrificing personality and refinement. Each of these scents is as ambient and gentle as its namesake suggests.

With Silhouette, Shoyeido's incense crafters sought to reward the user with a refined combination of sandalwood and spices.
