An elegant and modern take on incense from fragrance design house Blackbird. The black tins hold 20 black handmade cones each. Burm time is around 20 minutes, and scents last 2 to 4 hours in a medium-sized house. Choose from four scents: Corgo, Malus, Izba, and Lone.
CORGO: is inspired by the story of Gorgo, Queen of Sparta, and wife to King Leonidas. She was most famous for discovering a secret message on a wood tablet covered in beeswax warning the Spartans of Xerxes' pending invasion. With its brilliant layers of contrasting woods and beeswax, Gorgo will endow any space with an air of preparedness for whatever comes next. SCENT NOTES: wood bouquet, beeswax
MALUS: The smell of too much whisky and cigarettes on a musty wool shirt. The smell of a burning building and the damp ashes left behind. The smell of a leather chair whose springs have lost their bounce. The smell of rotting bark from a tree fell decades before its time. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and life is too short for perfection. SCENT NOTES: Nootka cypress, oak, Amyris, cypriol, scotch whisky, damp ash, vanilla, leather
IZBA: reminds us of traditional Russian farmhouses with warm wood walls, smoky fireplaces, and wild herbs and flowers growing outside. The Russian and Arabic word Izba refers to a countryside dwelling that forms the living quarters of a conventional farmstead. SCENT NOTES: cedarwood, lavender
LONE: A mature collection of moss specimens from the damp swampy forests of New Orleans, trapped in a box, individually tagged, identified. SCENT NOTES: New Orleans moss, African bluegrass, fig, cedarwood

THE BRAND
Eleven years ago, Blackbird was a little-known design studio in Seattle’s burgeoning Ballard neighborhood. At the helm was Nicole Miller, who curated a selection of lesser-known style brands that earned the store a small but dedicated following. When the local press began to take notice and the following grew, Miller launched her own line of American-made denim. Then came home goods, accessories, and apothecary items. Pretty soon, it was national media singing her praises. Today, the company’s trademark art-meets-nature aesthetic reaches fans around the globe.
INGREDIENTS
Each cone is handmade using the highest-quality bamboo charcoal and the company's unique blends of high-quality essential oils.
