A single leaf of paper incense in a warm, spiced jasmine, made for the evening and the dinner you actually planned.

HA KO incense is pressed from washi paper and made on Awaji Island, Japan, by Kunjudo, an incense house of more than a century, for Morihata. Light the tip, blow out the flame, and the leaf smolders for five to seven minutes on a heat-proof dish. Spicy Jasmine is gone in minutes, and the note settles into the room for the night.

For the friend who collects scents. For the host whose taste runs warm. A stocking stuffer, or for you, at the end of the day.
