SPRING CLEANING

A seasonal reset for the home: Japanese incense, essential oils, natural fragrance diffusers, clean-ingredient hand soaps, and handmade desk brushes. Plant-based home scenting from Japanese and Finnish makers — cedarwood, hinoki, pine, and palo santo.

Spring cleaning worth the name goes past surfaces. Once the desk is cleared and the windows are open, these finish the job — the smell of a forest in a small bottle, a bar of soap sculpted like an object, the sense that the room itself took a breath.
