**Experience the ancient culture of He Xiang. It can be worn as an elegant and artistic accessory, while also providing aromatic benefits to regulate your body.** **Specifications: Approximately 46mm in length, mm in width, 9mm in thickness.** In my hometown, the osmanthus flowers release their fragrance for miles around come August, filling the air with the essence of autumn. After collecting and drying them, we use ancient incense-making techniques to create a sweet, mellow osmanthus scent that isn't cloying. **Osmanthus essence, a portable offering for refined living.** Osmanthus, the flower deity of autumn, was historically referred to as a 'celestial friend.' The Song Dynasty treatise "The Art of the Vase" suggests that 'osmanthus thrives in clear dew.' We gather flowers steeped in morning dew, using agarwood as the bone and sandalwood as the flesh, to capture the soul of early autumn in a single wisp of fragrance. When feeling stagnant from prolonged sitting, inhale a wisp of osmanthus fragrance to soothe your liver qi and awaken your senses, as if transported to an autumn field, with golden hues falling upon your shoulders. The initial scent is crisp, like clothes touched by autumn dew; the second taste is mellow and sweet, like honey sealed in a jar; the base note of agarwood and sandalwood grounds it, like mountain mist veiling a osmanthus forest. **> Osmanthus Fragrance** **Ancient records describe several recipes for osmanthus incense. Each, depending on the formula, presents a different color, but the main note is always the scent of osmanthus.** **Generally, osmanthus incense pieces with a yellowish hue have a more intense osmanthus aroma, while darker pieces offer a more subtle scent.** Osmanthus incense is also known as Guihua fragrance. The rich and sweet osmanthus aroma seems to transport people to an autumn with temperatures between 16-20 degrees Celsius. The **aroma of agarwood and sandalwood blends with the scent of osmanthus, creating a fragrance that is rich yet enchanting, deeply refreshing.** Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the benefits of gradual accumulation. Each piece is unique, and with extended contact with its owner, it reveals a richness and variation in scent. After rubbing and handling, not only is the fragrance long-lasting, but its luster is also appealing. **> Benefits** The key focus of He Xiang is the simulation of aroma. Therefore, do not attempt to analyze the efficacy of the ingredients as if they were individual medicinal herbs; this is entirely unnecessary. The active components of the incense materials are absorbed by the body through essential oils. From a perfumery perspective, woody incense materials typically help to regulate qi and soothe the spirit. Herbal incense materials can aid in detoxification and alleviate melancholy. The combination of the two naturally leads to a sense of well-being, such as joy and comfort, calmness and tranquility, or improved circulation and flexibility. **> Craftsmanship** **Selecting aromatic materials → Grinding materials into powder → Harmonizing into incense → Kneading and tempering → Hand-shaping → Air-drying and cellaring → Fine polishing → Stringing and pairing** Each incense piece is entirely handmade and meticulously polished. After initial creation, it requires complete air-drying and cellaring for some time, making the production process lengthy. If in stock, it will ship within 2 days. If not in stock, shipping will take 5-10 days depending on weather conditions. **Hand-woven prayer rope, adjustable in length.** **> Introduction** Incense culture is an integral part of traditional Chinese culture. He Xiang, historically known as Leng Ning Xiang (cold condensed incense), is made by harmoniously blending various natural fragrances found in nature, such as **floral scents, woody and herbal aromas, resinous notes, fruity essences, and mineral fragrances, all possessing health benefits, using ancient methods of blending and proportioning.** He Xiang is the most quintessentially Eastern incense. It is restrained, profound, and enduring, carrying a strong sense of mystique. Ancient people believed that incense was "born from the convergence of pure yang elements of heaven and earth." Wearing incense is believed to **clear the mind and nourish the body, relieve stress, fragrance the body and calm the spirit, gather yang energy, and ward off yin evils.** Purely handmade He Xiang incense pieces involve intricate processes and possess a simple, elegant, and artistic quality. Wearing them not only fragrances the body and promotes well-being but also adds a touch of refined elegance to your demeanor. The constant body temperature causes the aromatic notes to subtly emerge and recede, seeping into the body and nose, almost imperceptibly, stirring the heartstrings. **> Please Note** The incense pieces are handmade using ancient formulas. They have been meticulously polished before shipping. You simply need to wear and handle them normally. They will exert their herbal fragrance while absorbing your body's natural scent, thus cultivating a unique aroma that nourishes your body and mind. Time will also bestow upon them a more beautiful luster. Although the various woody and herbal ingredients have been ground extremely fine and pounded thousands of times, traces of plant fibers and manual crafting remain. Ambient temperature and humidity may also cause slight changes in the appearance of the incense pieces due to contraction, but this does not affect their wearability or aroma. **> Care Instructions** **Regular wear and handling are the best methods of preservation.** The incense pieces should not come into contact with water. Avoid smoking and direct contact with sweat, perfume, etc., to prevent scent contamination. If accidentally exposed to water, gently pat it dry with a paper towel and then place it in the sun to dry. As the incense pieces contain no chemical additives, they should not be subjected to strong damage. During the rainy season, there is a possibility of mold. When not in use, store in a cool, dry, and fire-safe environment. https://cn.pinkoi.com/store/ghfdesign Gu Huafei Flat Design Studio's brand and album customization design hall!
