Incense & Craft

What is He Xiang?

He Xiang (合香) is the Chinese tradition of blended incense.

Rather than relying on a single aromatic material, different woods, herbs, flowers, resins, and other aromatic materials are prepared and combined into a balanced formula.

The character of a finished incense comes not only from its ingredients, but also from how those materials are processed, blended, made, and rested.

What is paozhi?

Paozhi (炮制) means preparing an aromatic material before it enters an incense formula.

Depending on the material, this may involve washing, soaking, steaming, heating, drying, or other methods.

The purpose is not simply to clean the material. Paozhi can change its aroma, reduce unwanted characteristics, and bring it into a state better suited to the formula.

Are YINN incenses made with natural aromatic materials?

Yes. We work with natural aromatic materials such as woods, herbs, flowers, and resins, using traditional Chinese incense-making methods.

We do not build our incense around synthetic fragrance oils.

How long does one incense stick burn?

Most of our standard incense sticks burn for approximately 50 minutes.

Because they are handmade, slight differences in burn time can occur depending on the incense, airflow, humidity, and individual stick.
