Incense gifts to give a fragrant gift. Recommended scents and types for gifts

The charm of incense

One of the attractions of incense is the process of lighting it, listening to the aroma and enjoying the relaxing time it takes.
It is the perfect gift item to give someone a moment to relax and unwind in their busy daily life or to start a new life.

Is it difficult to give a scent as a gift?

Among gifts, fragrance gifts are often a cause for concern as people often wonder, "What does the recipient like?"
Rather than giving a favorite scent, why not give a casual "fragrance gift" by incorporating thoughts about a lifestyle, scene or story?

This time, we will introduce incense gifts that will give such a scent, categorized by purpose, scent, and price.
