Incense to Listen

 

Listening to: Miles Davis / OMD / Brian Eno / New Order (Album Art: Peter Saville) / Rolling Stones / Stone Roses


“Monko” is the Japanese practice of “listening to incense,” mindfully experiencing its aroma much like enjoying music. Transform everyday moments into intentional sensory experiences with Chariots on Fire-selected fine incense.

The Scent: A blend of aged wood and earth — resinous, warm, with a bit of musk. A quiet, captivating aroma for any time of day. All natural Japanese incense.

Packaged in 7” 45rpm vinyl record sleeve / limited run of 150
Incense: by Nippon Kodo, since 1575

 

 

Incense to Listen is an ode to the warmth of analog sound and the art of listening. Our original product packaging celebrates pressed records, album art, and the tactile beauty of music — a small ritual that honors sound, sight, and presence.
