Qingzhu Incense Sticks | Fresh Green Bamboo & Agarwood | 21cm

There is a particular kind of quiet found only in a bamboo forest after rain.

Water gathers at the tips of the leaves.

Young bamboo glows a deeper green.

The path is cool beneath your feet, and every movement of the wind releases the scent of fresh stems, damp earth, and clean wood.

Qingzhu（青竹） means green bamboo.

The name evokes bamboo at its most alive—not dried, polished, or decorative, but rooted in wet soil, filled with sap, and still carrying the coolness of the rain.

This fragrance was created to capture that living freshness.

It begins with the clear sweetness of fresh bamboo sap, then moves through green leaves, smooth bamboo wood, and softly bitter forest botanicals. Agarwood adds a mellow, almost melon-like sweetness, while sandalwood warms the base so the composition remains refreshing without feeling cold.

The result is not simply “green.”

It feels alive.

Fresh Green • Gently Sweet • Watery • Woody • Clean • Softly Herbal

Imagine entering a bamboo forest just after summer rain.

The path is dark with water.

Droplets slide slowly along the narrow leaves, falling onto moss and stone. Somewhere nearby, a young bamboo stalk has split, releasing a clean sweetness into the damp air.

The wind moves through the grove.

Leaves brush against one another with a soft, hollow sound.

A trace of warm wood rises from the earth, while the green fragrance of bamboo surrounds you on every side.

You breathe in.

The air tastes almost green.

Qingzhu may remind you of:

• Fresh bamboo stems after rain
• Water gathered on green leaves
• A cool bamboo tea room
• Pale wood and damp moss
• Clean forest air with a soft sweetness
• Sunlight returning after a summer shower

It is fresh, but not minty.

Sweet, but not fruity.

Woody, but never heavy.

Opening

The fragrance begins as rainwater slips from a bamboo leaf.

Fresh bamboo sap releases a clear, lightly sweet aroma—watery, green, and delicate. It feels like cutting into a young bamboo stem and catching the first scent of cool plant fibers and clean moisture.

The air is bright.

The leaves are still wet.

Every breath feels newly washed.

Heart

Bamboo leaf and bamboo powder emerge next, adding the soft, dry texture of pale wood and sun-warmed grass.

Cypress seed moves through the fragrance with a subtle bitterness and gentle sweetness, like a breeze passing between tall bamboo stalks and carrying the scent of deeper woodland beyond.

The fragrance becomes greener, but never grassy or raw.

It remains quiet and refined.

Base

Agarwood brings a mellow fruit-like sweetness that gathers around the fresher notes.

There is a hint of ripe melon, warm resin, and smooth wood beneath the bamboo. Sandalwood follows with soft heat, creating a balanced foundation that keeps the fragrance cool without becoming austere.

By the end, the bamboo grove feels warmer.

The rain has stopped.

Light begins to move through the leaves.

Bamboo does not hold on to the rain.

Water arrives.

The leaves bend.

Then the droplets fall, and the grove becomes still again.

Qingzhu is the scent of that return to clarity.

Fresh bamboo.

Cool leaves.

Warm wood beneath the green.

A reminder that the mind, like the forest, can become clear again.
