Kaiunkoh

At a Glance: Agarwood - Sandalwood - Clove & spices - Camphor - Warm - Bold

Main Notes / Character: The scent is immediately warm and spicy, with aloeswood at the core. Clove and cassia bring a slightly sharp, aromatic spice, while a touch of camphor adds brightness and lift. As it burns, a smoother sandalwood base comes through, balancing the sharper edges. Overall, it’s fuller and stronger than many blends, with a grounded, lingering warmth.

History / Lineage: Kaiunkoh is one of the most well-known traditional blends from Baieido, built in the classic style using agarwood, sandalwood, and Chinese herbal ingredients. It represents an older, more robust approach to incense. Designed to be rich, expressive, and suitable for both daily use and ritual contexts.

Meaning behind the Name: “Kaiunkoh” (開運香) means “opening the way to good fortune.” It suggests inviting luck, positivity, and favorable energy into one’s space.
