Oedo-Koh's Tokyo Cherry Blossom incense: "Savor the joy of spring time, when young and old alike feel the allure of the outdoors, with the sweet, gentle scent of cherry blossoms. The custom of cherry blossom viewing took hold during the Edo Period. The somei-yoshino cherry tree, seen in groves throughout Japan today, was originally an ornamental garden variety raised in the village of Somei near Edo. Cherry blossom viewings were also an opportunity for Edo denizens to meet one another, present themselves, and perform; matching fancy kimonos were worn for the occasion, and people sang and danced to celebrate the coming of Spring." $18 for 60 sticks at Smallflower.

The first thought I had was, I need an eyeshadow in that taupey brown. ?
I also thought it was eye shadow, but glad to find out it was incense. Instant lemming! ?
Had exactly that train of thought.

Someone must make one!
I didn’t see eyeshadow, lol. Very cool site, where else can I buy chapstick, licorice and perfume samples all in one place?
