After a long workday, I lit a sandalwood plant incense stick in my study. The second the flame touched the tip, a thin wisp of smoke curled up, carrying a warm and mellow fragrance that slowly filled the entire room. Unlike those harsh artificial scents, this sandalwood aroma is soft and layered—first a faint woody warmth, then a subtle hint of sweetness lingering in the air.

As the incense burned steadily, the tightness in my shoulders faded away without me noticing. I sat by the window, watching the smoke curl gently in the soft light, and the restlessness of the day slowly melted away. The fragrance isn’t overwhelming; instead, it wraps around me like a light blanket, making the small study feel warm and serene. By the time the incense burned out, I was completely relaxed—with a clear mind and a calm mood. It’s such a great way to unwind.
