The Consort’s Smile approaches lychee from a quieter, less familiar direction.
Rather than recreating the sweetness of fresh fruit, the blend uses lychee shell alongside rue, sandalwood, agarwood, and borneol. Dry aromatic woods form the heart of the fragrance, while borneol brings a cool, clear lift. A restrained fruity nuance appears around the edges, adding complexity without becoming overtly sweet.

BOTANICAL COLLECTION
A Familiar Botanical, Composed as Incense
Each fragrance in the Botanical Collection begins with a recognizable flower, fruit, root, or plant material.
Rather than recreating it as a literal floral or fruity perfume, Gentle Still places the botanical within woods, resins, herbs, spices, and cooling aromatics. The familiar note becomes part of a quieter, more layered incense composition.
These are contemporary fragrances rooted in the compositional principles of Chinese blended incense and shaped as natural coreless incense sticks for everyday rituals.
How To Use
Burn in a well-ventilated area. Avoid inhaling smoke directly and never leave burning incense unattended.
Light
Light the tip of the incense until a small flame appears.
Extinguish
Gently blow out the flame and allow the incense to smolder.
Let It Settle
Allow the first smoke to disperse for a few moments.
Enjoy
Place the incense in a heat-resistant holder and let the fragrance diffuse naturally through the space.

FAQs
No. Gentle Still incense is made without synthetic fragrance and uses aromatic woods, botanicals, resins, flowers, and natural plant-based binders depending on the formula.
No. Our incense is coreless. The entire stick is formed from the aromatic blend and its natural binder, without a bamboo or charcoal core.
Both sizes use the same incense formula. Mini is shorter and designed for a briefer fragrance experience, making it a good option for smaller spaces or trying a scent for the first time. Standard offers a longer burn and a fuller incense session. Exact dimensions and burn times are listed in the Product Details for each fragrance.
Our incense is sold by net weight, so the number of sticks may vary slightly between batches due to natural differences in stick thickness and weight.
Place the incense securely in a heat-resistant holder on a stable surface. Light the tip until a small flame appears, then gently blow out the flame and allow the stick to smolder.
Burn in a well-ventilated area, avoid inhaling smoke directly, and never leave burning incense unattended.
The aroma may remain softly in the room after the incense has finished burning. How long it lasts depends on room size, ventilation, temperature, and surrounding materials.
Natural incense is intended to unfold gently and fade gradually rather than leave behind a strong, persistent room fragrance.
Store incense in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keeping it in its original packaging or another well-sealed container will help protect its aromatic materials.
Incense produces smoke when burned. Use it only in a well-ventilated area, keep burning incense, holders, and ash out of reach of children and pets, and never leave it unattended. If someone in your household is particularly sensitive to smoke, avoid burning incense around them.
