The brisk and refreshing aroma evokes reveries of old Edo, where pines lined the streets frequented by travelers, keeping watch and protecting them.

It is traditionally believed that the kami (deities) dwell in evergreen trees. The word matsu means both "pine" and "wait" (for the deity to descend), and the
pine is part of the felicitous trio of pine, bamboo, and plum tree, and the auspicious pairing of crane and pine. Pine decorations are displayed at New Year's and a monumental pine tree is painted on the backdrop of the Noh stage - all expressing the pine's association with luck and longevity. In ukiyo-e woodcuts, boldy rendered pines standing in the midst of Edo-era people bustling to and fro are a classic motif.

Refreshing & elegant Pines

Like the Japanese Tea Houses (brothels) made of pinewoods, and the geishas’ perfumes pervades in the building. Refreshing and cold as pines yet with sweet and powdery aroma of makeup.

Too small

For the price, the sticks are incredibly small. And half the box is taken up by a useless incense holder. The smell is wonderful, but too little for the cost.

Pine?

OK so I'm not sure you could detect a actual pine scent but this is a very well made stick, low smoke, very subtle scent that's a bit "refreshing" in a way of a slight mellow sharpness that stands out.

Nontraditional Pine

Doesn't burn with a traditional incense smell--this is a true Japanese incense with little wood burn scent. Very beautiful. My favorite in this like is the Cherry Blossom, which is above and beyond. But all of them smell nice. This isn't pine scented in a traditional sense but it is very subtle and beautiful.

The fragrance of the peony, “queen of the flowers” evokes this beautiful and evanescent world.

OEDO-KOH - Water Drop

In the Edo Period (1603-1868 ) people did not have baths at home, therefore public bath houses were built to meet the need. At first they were steam baths, then large bathtubs were developed. As people were unclothed and co-mingled without regard for age, gender, or rank, the bath house was an egalitarian place. A popular item for these bath house-goers was a scented lotion made with distilled floral essences using a device called "ranbiki." OEDO-KOH Water Drop is a fragrance that has such floral warmth like the moment you step out of bath.
