1+1

We draw on the knowledge and expertise of specialists around the world so we can confidently supply the finest fragrant wood incense available.

Our Japanese style incense sticks have only two ingredients; the fragrant wood as their name suggests and a natural binding agent from either Machilus thunbergii (tabu-no-ki tree) or Litsea glutinosa (brown beech tree). As each incense stick uses a different raw wood, variations between them are clearly apparent - not only in the scent but also the physical appearance and texture. Subtle Bodies incense is not made with any generic base wood, perfume, oil, added colour, or bamboo sticks.

Hand selected

Each of our incense varieties are sourced from independent manufacturers worldwide, individually selected for the quality of their incense as well as their connection to proper forestry practice. All have a lasting connection with the plantations that grow the trees and a fascination with the type of wood they choose to work with. The resulting product is a traditional, pure ingredient incense of exceptional quality - smokey, natural and raw.

According to various teachings, the subtle body is one of many
non-physical energies or psycho-spiritual bodies constituent in all living beings. The concept of each subtle body corresponding to a different plane of existence, in a hierarchy or great chain of being is a common philosophical element in many traditions around the world.
