Energize Osmanthus Incense

The handcrafted Energize incense is made with osmanthus, agarwood and sandalwood on an elm bark binder. Each of the 25 sticks measures 8.3 inches (21 cm) and burns 30–40 minutes.

Osmanthus gives a lightly sweet floral scent that suits a variety of routines, including creative practice, hosting guests and your morning routine, and your favorite places such as your studio, living room or entryway.

Aroma activates the olfactory and limbic systems, creating spatial and emotional clarity (Herz, 2016) used to define identity, intention, and environment (Classen, Howes & Synnott, 1994). This experience reduces vigilance, making our emotions more stable (McEwen, 2007); it supports mood regulation (Panksepp, 1998), and strengthens cultural belonging (Assmann, 2011).

Pairing Note

Visual: Aroma paired with visual objects becomes cross-modal interpretation. Objects with an aroma become defined sensory cues: their color, form, and presentation shape how the aroma is understood (Lakoff, 1987). Visual–aroma integration strengthens affective response—enhancing pleasure when the scent is preferred and intensifying dislike when it is not (Juslin & Västfjäll, 2008). These responses support memory formation and make the moment easier to recall (Herz, 2016).
