{"product_id":"awaji-by-astier-de-villatte","title":"Awaji","description":"\u003cp\u003eMade in the Japanese island of Awaji, using ancestral traditions and techniques, its delicate smoke exhales a delicate scent of driftwood, resins, jasmine and immortelle. Legend has it that, one day, a trunk of Agar wood was washed onto the beach. The island dwellers burned it, and the smell was so intoxicating that they decided to offer it as a gift to the Emperor, and later on erect a sanctuary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe best incense in the world is found on the island of Awaji, due to its favorable climate. For more than a thousand years it has been made here by the Koh-shis or Masters of Aromas, a tradition passed down from father to son. They alone perfectly master the four stages of production: the dosage of exclusively natural materials, precious woods, herbs, plants, vegetable resins, and perfume; the kneading of the dough, pressed and worked for a long time, then left to stand for two weeks to soak up the fragrance; the cutting of the dough, rolled into long, narrow ribbons, to the desired size; then drying in the west wind for three days before bundling the sticks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Astier de Villatte","offers":[{"title":"125 Sticks","offer_id":50654115496257,"sku":"596064","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/6138\/3745\/files\/596064_b98ef1f9-3dfe-41ea-b7e1-bf0dfd3806d5.jpg?v=1754966543","url":"https:\/\/checkout.luckyscent.com\/products\/awaji-by-astier-de-villatte","provider":"Luckyscent","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
