Listening to Incense
The World of Jo Malone recently unveiled the Kohdo Wood Collection; two limited edition fragrances created as modern interpretations of Kohdo, the ancient Japanese art of incense appreciation. Kohdo (often spelled Kodo) is the practice of ‘listening to incense’ smelling with one’s entire being. Kin to the tea ceremony, the highly ritualized incense ceremony is designed to cultivate aesthetic refinement while deepening spiritual awareness. In this context, incense is the muse of both enlightenment and artistic expression.
Malone’s Kohdo-inspired Lotus Blossom & Water Lily is a blend of mandarin, lotus blossom, bamboo, and aloeswood, an incense cherished for its power to calm and center the spirit during meditation. This light and lively fragrance is intended for use during the day. Dark Amber & Ginger Lily, a smoky, sensual combination of cardamom, orchid, and kyara wood, is the essence of evening. Both fragrances are available as cologne, bath oil, and scented candles.
As with all Jo Malone fragrances, Lotus Blossom & Water Lily and Dark Amber & Ginger Lily can be worn alone or be combined to create a unique signature scent. The products make lovely gifts, packaged in elegant cream-colored boxes adorned with soft black tissue paper and chic grosgrain ribbon. For more information visit www.jomalone.com.
