The Stone Blend — Xizhai

Inspired by a classical incense recorded in Xiang Cheng.
Associated with the western direction and the season of autumn, this formula reflects clarity, composure, and quiet refinement.
It is suited for study, contemplation, rest, and moments when the space calls for stillness.

Scent

Dry, refined, and quietly contemplative.

Soft woods and gentle spice create a fragrance with depth and restraint.
Calm and measured.
Lingering without insistence.

Ritual

• Place one incense bead on the upper dish of the burner.

As the warmth rises, the scent is gently released.

To clear the space.
To return to balance.
