Discover Aeternum Japanese incense, with slim sticks and fragrances designed for a more understated diffusion. Nippon Kodo’s Morning Star range lets you discover sandalwood, green tea, lotus, myrrh, Palo Santo, and other scents in an easy-to-use format.
These sticks require an incense holder suited to their diameter. Before choosing, compare the fragrance, the number of sticks, the advertised burn time, and the holder available on your altar.
If you are looking for a classic woody fragrance, start with sandalwood. For a more floral or fresh atmosphere, compare rose, lotus, green tea, or other available options.

Morning Star: a simple range for discovering Japanese incense
Morning Star products in the catalog share the same general format and are mainly distinguished by their fragrance. You can therefore compare several scents without completely changing your routine or holder.
Start with two or three different fragrance profiles to quickly identify your preferences.
Woody, floral, fresh, or resinous: choose by fragrance
Sandalwood, pine, and cedar give a woody character; rose, lotus, and gardenia are more floral; green tea adds a different note; myrrh and frankincense lean toward resinous.
This family-based approach greatly simplifies the choice when discovering the range.
A thin stick requires a suitable holder.
Make sure your incense holder accommodates the diameter of Japanese incense sticks. A holder that is too wide may leave the stick unstable.
Incense holders allow you to choose a model better suited to these slim formats.
Japanese or Indian: two experiences to compare
Japanese and Indian incense in the catalog use different formats and compositions. If you enjoy Satya or HEM, trying Morning Star lets you discover a different way the fragrance diffuses.
Alternate between the two families depending on the atmosphere and scent you are seeking.
