HOT ! Daihatsu Incense Sticks, Violet Tanka Perfume

Violet Tanka Perfume‑Style Incense

Overview

Violet Tanka is an exotic perfume‑style incense from Daihatsu, distinguished by a fresh yet richly nuanced violet fragrance.

Mysore Sandalwood Base

This incense is crafted using high‑quality Mysore sandalwood from India. Sandalwood has long been regarded in India as a noble aromatic wood, and among its varieties, material from the Mysore region has traditionally been considered especially esteemed, providing a composed and substantial base for the scent.

Perfume Materials Selected for Incense

Alongside the sandalwood, selected perfume materials commonly used in fine perfumery are employed. These materials were carefully chosen by a French perfume manufacturer specifically for use in incense, contributing refinement and depth to the overall aromatic structure.

Fragrance Impression

When lit, Violet Tanka reveals a fresh and exotic violet impression that blends gracefully with the perfume notes and the warmth of sandalwood, unfolding into a gently sweet and softly enveloping aroma. Compared with more contemporary incense styles such as Kafuh, Shikobai, or Hanakaori, its fragrance is fuller and more substantial, expressing a classic and richly layered presence. This character is particularly well appreciated in more spacious settings, where its sense of elegance can be fully experienced.

Historical Background

Rooted in the lineage of perfume‑style incense first developed in the Meiji era, Violet Tanka is a creation that continues this tradition. The Tanka series was conceived as a high‑grade offering within the same aromatic tradition as Wakaba, one of Daihatsu’s well‑known works, and soon established itself as a distinctive presence in its own right.

After‑Scent

With its gentle sweetness, the lingering fragrance left on clothing is also pleasant.
