{"product_id":"nara-incense-by-astier-de-villatte","title":"Nara Incense","description":"\u003cp\u003eNara, a small, tranquil Japanese town, is home to numerous magnificent temples and shrines and a park famous for its freely roaming deer. The charming, century-old Nara Hotel, a favorite of dignitaries, offers a welcome haven of repose: We lose ourselves with delight in the city’s winding alleys. In the air floats an exquisite fragrance of sandalwood, its warm, comforting scent enriched by a hint of sweet and sensual jasmine.\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.  Box of 125 sticks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Astier de Villatte","offers":[{"title":"125 Sticks","offer_id":46719276351809,"sku":"596053","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/6138\/3745\/files\/596053.jpg?v=1754967492","url":"https:\/\/checkout.luckyscent.com\/products\/nara-incense-by-astier-de-villatte","provider":"Luckyscent","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
