“Got this Yonghe incense as a birthday gift for my friend — and she loved it. The scent is super soft, but the box stole the show.Woven brocade over a wooden case?? It looks way too pretty for incense 😂She kept saying how special it felt. Honestly one of the nicest gifts she’s ever gotten.”

“I tried the incense for sleeping and… wow.
It’s so soft and calming — not smoky, not heavy, just this gentle scent that makes your brain go quiet. I’ve been sleeping faster with it on my nightstand. Honestly didn’t expect incense to help this much, but here we are.”

“Been using the Yonghe focus incense at my desk lately — and it actually helps. The scent is light and clean, kinda sets this ‘okay let’s get things done’ mood. I lit it during a long work-from-home afternoon and noticed I wasn’t scrolling my phone as much. It just makes the space feel calmer and easier to concentrate.”
