【Workshop(s)】2026 Minor Snow - Camellia Chrysanthemum Hidden Scent Incense Making Workshop

The workshop will conclude with two creations: First Incense | Snow Window Camellia · Camellia Incense Sticks Camellias bloom in early winter, their floral essence elegant, neither strong nor ostentatious. With the aromatic imagery of camellia as the core, blended with incense materials such as sandalwood, red cypress, green sandalwood, dragon's blood resin, agrimony, vetiver, and rhubarb, we depict a scene by a winter window… Petals soft and white, leaves slightly green, a cool woody aroma, with a subtle depth of dry earth and aged wood hidden beneath. This is not a sweet floral scent, but a crisp, cool woody fragrance of early winter. Second Incense | Golden Chrysanthemum Hidden Scent · Tongluo Hangzhou Chrysanthemum Incense Pills As autumn ends and winter arrives, the Hangzhou chrysanthemums of Tongluo are a sea of gold. We use a base of mellow woody notes, infused with sandalwood, dragon's blood resin, frankincense, and a hint of warm spice, kneaded into small incense pills. After forming the pills, dried Tongluo golden chrysanthemum petals are applied to the exterior, allowing the golden petals to lightly embrace the incense pills. Chrysanthemum scent outside, warm wood within. Not seeking intensity, but a slow release of dry, woody, and gently warm winter notes when burned in cooler temperatures. In this class, we don't just make incense, we also explore the meaning of "hidden" within the solar terms together. Hide a wisp of camellia by a winter window, hide a pill of golden chrysanthemum in your palm. Slowly collect the late autumn floral scents into winter. Minor Snow · Camellia Chrysanthemum Hidden Scent Early Winter Hidden Incense | Camellia Incense Sticks × Tongluo Hangzhou Chrysanthemum Incense Pills Two types of incense, one clear, one warm; one in smoke, one in a pill. On the days when Minor Snow first arrives, collect for yourself a period of quiet and warm winter fragrance.
