This sandalwood is marked "fragrant", and it earns the word. Sweet cream and warm wood from arm's length: the kind of sandalwood people pick up, close their eyes, and just hold for a moment. Between the golden rounds sit spacers of Blood Amber (血珀, xue po), cut in the flat abacus shape (算盘珠, suan pan zhu), glowing deep cherry against the wood. Two ancient aromatics on one strand.
Meaning: Two of Asia's oldest aromatics on one strand: sandalwood to steady the mind and Blood Amber to warm it. Both grow more personal with wear.
Scent: Marked fragrant: sweet cream and warm wood, at the stronger end of our sandalwood stock. Strength varies by piece.
Feel: Warm, smooth, fine-grained rounds. Soft to the touch and softer with wear.
Care: Sandalwood. No soaking, no bottled oils. Hand oils are the polish. Rest days in a pouch revive the scent.
