These refills are designed to prolong the use of scented candles in Shigaraki-yaki holders.
To replace the candle, warm the holder by placing it in hot water to melt any remaining wax, then wipe it clean. Once the wax is removed, insert the refill and enjoy the aroma as it burns.
The refill is available in three scents: Akikaze, Miyamagi and Kimorigaki.
Akikaze
A floral and woody fragrance inspired by Jijū, one of the incenses from Mukusa no Takimono—a set of six kneaded incenses from the Heian period (794-1185). The scent evokes the autumn breeze and the bittersweet passing of the seasons. Top and middle notes include tuberose, while the base is sweet and spicy with amber and clove.
Miyamagi
A woody fragrance reflecting the mountainous, forested landscapes of Japan. Earthy top and middle notes, including patchouli, evoke fresh pine needles, while base notes of sandalwood and oakmoss suggest trees growing deep within the forest.
Kimorigaki
A fruity and musky fragrance inspired by kimorigaki, the custom of leaving one or two persimmons on the tree after harvest in the hope of an abundant yield the following year. The scent blends the sweetness of persimmons in the top and middle notes with a wintry base of musk and cedarwood.
