Xue Zhong Chun Xin (雪中春信), meaning “Spring in Snow,” is a traditional Chinese incense blend inspired by the quiet beauty of plum blossoms emerging through winter snow.

Unlike soft floral incense, Xue Zhong Chun Xin belongs to the tradition of Chinese herbal incense, where aromatic woods, botanicals, and spices are carefully balanced to create a fragrance with depth and character.

This unique blend combines agarwood, white sandalwood, clove, natural camphor, costus root, nard, agastache, ling ling xiang, angelica roots, cinnamon, cyperus root, and cardamom.

The fragrance opens with a cool, refreshing clarity, followed by warm woods, aromatic herbs, and gentle spice. It captures the contrast between winter’s crisp air and the hidden warmth of early spring.

Each set includes a matching incense holder, making it ready to enjoy during tea, reading, meditation, creative work, and quiet daily ritual
