FAQ
How long does one stick of incense burn?
About 20 minutes per stick.
It shifts a little with the size of the room and the ventilation, but it is a good length for a quiet moment.
KYO incense is blended from fine materials so that you can enjoy it while it burns, and in the scent that lingers once the flame is out.
Is there a way to enjoy the scent without fire?
Simply placing a stick on a dish or in an incense box gives a soft, gentle scent.
Enjoying it unlit, at room temperature, also suits bedtime and homes with small children or pets.

How strong is the scent, and how long does it linger?
The scent does not assert itself. It settles quietly into a room and stays faintly in the air after the flame is out.
In a well-ventilated room it lasts tens of minutes; in a closed space, a few hours.
Enjoy it before bed, or alongside an unhurried hour.
Does incense have an expiry date? How should I store it?
Once opened, the scent keeps best if you use it before too long.
Unopened, please use within about two years of manufacture.
Storage:
- Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight and humidity
- Avoid hot and humid places such as kitchens and bathrooms
- An airtight container keeps the scent longer
Is it safe to use in a room with pets?
Smoke and scent can be a burden for pets, whose sense of smell and bodies are more sensitive than ours.
Please ventilate thoroughly, and burn incense in a room where pets are not present.
