Incense from @craftincense @kencannata just in tim Incense from @craftincense @kencannata just in time for the new year. Finally got to sample Devadaru Rose after half the world have smelt it and raved about it so much that it got me extremely curious. It has been two years since Ken has gone on this incense journey, which by far isn’t an easy one, filled with challenges from different dimensions, and yet the need for a clear, clean, untainted and some what stainless motivation to actualize. I am, the imperfect teacher, whom cannot and should not mould students in my footprints, but i am glad Ken has achieved, not simply just methods, procedures, suppliers, etc, but instead a sense of olfactory acuity and creativity to bring many excellent ethereal scents to the market. Devadaru Rose indeed is as what many have described.. beautiful beyond words that it creates an emotional connection on the first whiff. Heart of Lavender was also an incense where Ken has superceded me, by being able to embed and stabilize the core lavender identity in the middle of the cedarwoods. I am seeing the future and new breakthroughs in incense culture and appreciation and in his works #incense #线香 #線香 #香道 #香文化 #沉香 #合香
