During the Heian period, fragrance culture flourished among the aristocracy. Incense was used to scent clothing, purify rooms, and enhance daily life. The round kneaded incense (ne rikō) mentioned in classics such as The Tale of Genji and The Pillow Book was crafted by blending powdered aromatic ingredients and binding them with honey or syrup. The Kokubō (Black Blend) features the profound depth of agarwood enriched by the dignified presence of musk, softened with the mellow sweetness of benzoin (kunroku), resulting in a truly classical fragrance.
