What is Incense?
Incense has existed for thousands of years. Traditionally, it is made from natural aromatic materials such as sandalwood, agarwood, or resins, which are ground into powder, mixed with a binder, and rolled into sticks. When burned, incense releases fragrant smoke that soothes, calms, and connects us to the ritual of breathing.

Types of Incense: Traditional vs. Modern
There are two main types of incense in the modern world:
1. Traditional incense (sandalwood & agarwood types)
Traditional incense is crafted by mixing natural materials like sandalwood or agarwood into powder and binding them directly into sticks. These incense types are often prized for collection value, but:
-
Their quality and scent vary greatly depending on material source.
-
Prices are not transparent, and the market can be complex.
-
The range of aroma is limited—because the scent depends entirely on the raw wood itself.
2. Modern essential-oil-based incense
Modern incense uses unscented base sticks that are soaked in aromatic oils. This approach makes it possible to create thousands of scent variations—just like perfumes.
However, many brands choose overly synthetic or chemical oils to make the scent “strong,” which often leads to a harsh and artificial smell.
What Makes Scenadu Different
Scenadu creates essential-oil-based incense that never smells chemical or overpowering.
We focus on crafting scents that feel natural, refined, and emotionally grounding.
Each stick is designed to bring a sense of calm and atmosphere rather than intensity.
Our incense is:
-
Low-smoke — Clean burning, minimal residue, gentle in enclosed spaces.
-
Well-balanced — Soft diffusion of scent, inspired by natural moments and memories.
-
Crafted with care — Using high-quality essential oils (not disclosed as plant oils) that express emotion and landscape.

Small apartments or studio spaces
-
People who are sensitive to heavy scent
-
Maintaining a clean, breathable environment
How to Use

Light the tip of the stick for 2–3 seconds.

Blow out the flame gently and let the ember glow.

Enjoy the scent and the moment of stillness.
