incense


We live in a very visual world, but we have so many other ways to experience life. Some sensual impressions of childhood live on forever inside our brain and that is especially true for scents. My very special Räuchermännchen, which literally means little smokey man, burns incense every day during advent, filling the room with this old traditional scent and connecting our senses today with past experiences of ancient times. It looks fabulous when the smoke is wafting around the room, I also love the fact that somebody handmade this in Germany and of course this wizard is just so darn cute - he's got some kind of Dumbledore charme about him.
