Vetiver Incense
For the Deepest Sleep of Your Life
Introducing the Role of Scent in Sleep
Quality sleep is essential for both health and beauty. Yet sleep disorders are on the rise — many people today struggle to fall asleep, stay asleep, or feel truly rested.
What if you could ease insomnia not with medication, but with scent? Vetiver Incense was born from exactly that question.
Do Any of These Sound Familiar?
- Difficulty falling asleep
- Waking earlier than intended
- Dozing off unintentionally during the day
- Light, restless sleep — never feeling fully rested
- Waking multiple times through the night
COMMON APPROACHES TO SLEEP PROBLEMS
A Founder's Discovery, Born from Care
When our founder Ino was caring for his mother-in-law, she became entirely dependent on sleeping pills. Concerned about the risks — reduced alertness, impaired motor function, dizziness — he asked: could scent alone bring sleep?
Supported by a Fukuoka Prefecture research grant (2018), Vetiver Incense was born after two years of development — a gentle, natural solution for the restless night.
Why Not Try Incense Before Bed?
Of all the senses, smell has the most direct pathway to the brain. When a fragrance is detected, information travels instantly to the limbic system — governing emotion and instinct — and the hypothalamus, which regulates the autonomic nervous system and hormone balance.
Even during sleep, the sense of smell remains active. The quality of fragrance your brain receives while you rest directly influences the depth of your sleep. We believe that a beneficial scent — even an unconscious one — is the key to waking truly restored.
Do You Know Vetiver — Known to Support Sleep?
A grass native to India, vetiver takes root deep in the earth. Woody, earthy, and grounding, it is a prized ingredient in fine perfumery known for its calming, sedative qualities.
Like its deep roots anchoring it to the earth, vetiver's scent anchors the restless mind — in moments of anxiety, tension, or overwhelm, drawing you gently into deep, restorative sleep.
Blended with vetiver as its base, sandalwood calms nervous tension and eases stress — working in harmony with vetiver to deepen the journey toward restful sleep.
Clinical Evidence: Vetiver Incense & Sleep Quality
Using a night without incense as the baseline, the following data shows changes in sleep quality observed when participants slept after burning a vetiver and sandalwood blend. Results demonstrated improvement across all three indicators — leading to the commercialization of Vetiver Incense.
↑ Sleep duration increased
↓ Night waking time reduced
↓ Time to fall asleep reduced
