HOT ! Daihatsu Incense Sticks, Plum blossom Tanka Perfume

Plum Blossom Tanka Perfume‑Style Incense

Overview

Plum Blossom Tanka is an elegant perfume‑style incense distinguished by a refined plum‑inspired fragrance.

Mysore Sandalwood Base

This incense is crafted using high‑quality Mysore sandalwood from India. Sandalwood has long been regarded in India as a noble aromatic wood, and among its varieties, material from the Mysore region has traditionally been considered especially esteemed, providing a rich and stable base for the fragrance.

Perfume Materials Selected for Incense

Alongside the sandalwood, selected perfume materials commonly used in fine perfumery are employed. These materials were carefully chosen by a French perfume manufacturer specifically for use in incense, adding depth and sophistication to the overall aromatic character.

Fragrance Impression

When lit, Plum Blossom Tanka reveals a gently sweet and lightly tart plum impression that blends seamlessly with the sweetness of the perfume notes and the warmth of sandalwood. Compared with more contemporary incense styles such as Kafuh, Shikobai, or Hanakaori, its aroma is fuller and more substantial, expressing a classic and richly layered presence. This character is especially well appreciated in more spacious settings, where its sense of refinement can fully unfold.

Historical Background

Rooted in the lineage of perfume‑style incense first developed in the Meiji era, Plum Blossom Tanka is a creation within a tradition that Daihatsu has continued for many years. The Tanka series was conceived as a high‑grade offering within the same aromatic tradition as Wakaba, one of Daihatsu’s well‑known works, and has since become recognized as a distinctive presence in its own right.

After‑Scent

With its gentle sweetness, the lingering fragrance left on clothing is also pleasant.
