The story behind the smoke

I did not choose incense. Incense chose me.

Growing up inside incense.

My family has been in the paper incense business for over 60 years. I grew up watching my parents and grandparents turn something simple into something sacred. Scent was never just a smell in our house. It was a signal. A ritual. A way of marking moments as meaningful.

Then I built something my own.

Incentional was born from a question I kept asking myself: what if incense could be more than ambiance? What if it could be a doorway into intention? I started hand-making small batches in my kitchen, pairing each scent with a prompt card, and watching people slow down when they used it.

Products that hold meaning.

Every Incentional product is designed around a feeling state. Ground. Breathe. Release. Each tin is hand-made in small batches with paper incense, a prompt card, and an intention built in. For the girl who only has 2 minutes but wants those 2 minutes to mean something.

This is just the beginning.

From yoga festivals to wellness boutiques to corporate events, Incentional is finding its way into spaces where people are ready to slow down. I am building this one tin, one ritual, one intentional moment at a time.

Scent is memory. Intention is direction. Together they are a ritual.
