Plum Blossoms (Baika-ju)

Baika-ju is an incense in the traditional Japanese temple style that emits a delicate warmth. The scent of sandalwood, benzoin, clove and cinnamon combine to create a comforting impression. A barely-there sweetness reminiscent of toasted coconut contrasts beautifully against the dry, earthiness of leather. The dense wooly flower heads of the saussurea lend the incense a subtle floral note. Countless white, feathery plum blossoms in the cool morning of early spring speak to the delicate powderiness of the incense's trail of smoke.

The superior quality and modest pricing make Baika-ju a must-have daily stick for all incense lovers.

Here's what other people are saying about Plum Blossoms (Baika-ju)...

I am not normally an incense kind of gal, but something about the description for this product made me want to try it out. I love it - it doesn’t smell like what I would normally characterize as incense. Instead, it has a distinctive naturally fruity - yes, plummy - scent. I really love walking into a room after lighting up one of these plum blossom sticks.

Phenomenal fragrance and one of my all time favorites from Shoyeido! It does smell like NATURAL plum and florals. Beautiful scent. One of Shoyeido’s most economical, but approachable offerings. The dry down of many a Roja perfumes often dry down to smelling similar to burning Shoyeido’s plum blossom in the perfumes. Interestingly, Roja’s higher end fragrances and the musk and aoud extraits dry down to a base smelling very very similar to the burning of Shoyeido’s higher end offerings.

This just arrived and I am on my first burn: smells wonderful, very comforting and a bit rich, in a bakery kind-of-way. I have always enjoyed incense, but this is the best smelling one I have burned to date; it's sophisticated yet simple --no college dorm room/new age divinity shop vibes here. The stick burns down fairly quickly, but then again the sticks are fairly short and thin. No matter, at less than a dime a stick, it's a terrific buy. I will definitely buy this again as I'm sure I will use it up in a few months.

I've stuck with Satya's Nag Champa or Super Hit for years--most other incense I came across smelled like the stick it was burning, or even burning tires (as in the case of laxmi dhoop)...So I wasn't sure what I was in for. I was instantly enveloped in a warm, just-sweet-enough, woody and floral aura. I get the cinammon the other reviewer mentioned; it's a food smell. It's like opening a curio of interesting spices and dried flowers, and other beautiful earthly things. Fantastic.

Soft whisper of sweet sandalwood, cinnamon, and star anise... I love having my home smelling of this. Creates an atmosphere of comfort --- home as a haven from the cares of the outside world.
