10A Grade Xue Zhong Chun Xin (雪中春信) Handcrafted Incense — Clove, Agarwood & Sandalwood

Xue Zhong Chun Xin, meaning “Spring Tidings in the Snow,” is one of the three most celebrated formulas in classical Chinese incense culture — a tradition cherished by scholars and connoisseurs for centuries. This batch was handcrafted in May 2016 and has been naturally aged for over 9 years, achieving a complexity and refinement that only time and true craftsmanship can produce. Graded 10A — the absolute pinnacle of incense classification.

Clove (丁香): The signature note — cool, spiced, and quietly intoxicating
Mu Xiang / Costus Root (木香): Warm, earthy, and grounding — adds body and depth
Nha Trang Agarwood (芽庄沉香): Premium Vietnamese oud — warm, deep, and meditative
Indian Old Mountain Sandalwood (印度老山檀香): Creamy and classic — the perfect classical base
Nanmu Wood Powder (楠木粉): 8% natural binder for clean, even burning

Light the tip and allow to flame for 3–5 seconds.
Gently blow out the flame — the stick should glow and release fragrant smoke.

Keep away from flammable materials, children, and pets.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the aged fragrance.
