IYÉ incense | Scents that evoke the seasons and linger on

The rising smoke and fragrance gently unravel your mind and body.

When you want to envelop your living space in a pleasant aroma, how about some incense?

Used since ancient times for purification and mental concentration, incense spreads its fragrance throughout the room with its rising smoke.

Since its scent lingers longer than aromatherapy, it has traditionally been used to fragrance clothes and personal belongings.

From "IYÉ," a brand dedicated to creating a refined and personal experience, we have selected four types of incense inspired by the changing seasons.

〈Spring No.004 Somei-yoshino〉

As its name suggests, Somei-Yoshino evokes the beginning of spring. Its subtly elegant fragrance, like the cherry blossom's language of "beauty of spirit," inspires a crisp, positive outlook.

〈Summer No.006 Mandarin〉

The vivid orange mandarin scent is inspired by fresh citrus. It reminds you to take a breath and find a positive outlook when you're feeling tired or a little down.

〈Autumn No.009 Cedar〉

With a unisex appeal, Cedar offers a dry, woody scent with spicy undertones. It's perfect for the clear autumn air.

〈Winter N0.002 Birth〉

This fragrance uses luxurious natural sandalwood, offering a deep sweetness and elegance. It was selected to evoke the crisp and clear air of winter.

Awaji Island: The Sacred Land of Incense for 1,400 Years

IYÉ incense is made on Awaji Island in Hyogo Prefecture, a region that accounts for over 50% of domestic incense and stick incense production.

The island's history of fragrance culture is even mentioned in the "Nihon Shoki" (Chronicles of Japan), dating back to 595 AD when driftwood that washed ashore was burned as firewood, emitting an extraordinarily rich aroma.

This episode is considered the oldest written record concerning fragrance in Japan, and the driftwood is believed to have been agarwood.

The manufacturing of incense sticks began around 1850, during the late Edo period. Awaji Island developed into a major production area due to its convenient port for transporting raw materials and the winds from Harimanada, which were ideal for drying incense sticks.

Sustainability rooted in comfort and thoughtfulness

What IYÉ values is first knowing and accepting oneself, and then pursuing comfort. We believe that if this extends to caring for family, friends, society, and the environment, it will lead to a small yet significant sustainability.

The boxes that house our products are also made from recycled paper using high-quality pulp. The extra-thick board is assembled in a way similar to a wooden box, making it very durable!

After use, it can be used for a long time as a small storage box.

Whether you want to clear your mind, concentrate, or take a deep breath, it will surely become a switch that unravels your unknowingly stiffened mind and body.
