Part of perfumer Chikako's original range, Murmure de la Foret was made as a tribute to her grandfathers home, which she lived in as a child. The house was filled with rich woody scents of the forest, which she has recreated with strong notes of sandalwood, raspberry, clove, citrus, patchouli, and vetiver. Luxurious and petite, this box of incense comes in a sliding can which also doubles as a travel container. Good things come in small packages.
