Main Notes / Character: The scent centers on a delicate daffodil  floral note, supported by soft green undertones that give it a fresh, spring-like quality.  A gentle sandalwood base anchors the fragrance, keeping it smooth and grounded.  The overall character is light, airy, and clean. It isn't too sweet and offers a calm, uplifting atmosphere that lingers subtly.

History / Lineage: Kokonoe is a classic floral style incense from Baieido. Unlike Baieido’s more wood forward or aloeswood heavy blends, Kokonoe sits within their floral range, designed to evoke a lighter, more atmospheric fragrance profile. It is traditionally associated with the idea of the Imperial Court, reflecting refinement and balance.

Meaning behind the Name: “Kokonoe” (九重) translates to “ninefold” and is a classical poetic reference to the Japanese Imperial Palace, symbolizing layered elegance, depth, and refinement qualities reflected in the incense’s soft, multi-layered floral composition.
