How to Enjoy HEJI Rituals Leaf Incense

Our sculpted leaf incense is designed to be both a visual object and a quiet ritual.
Please follow the instructions below to enjoy a safe and beautiful burning experience.

1. Before You Start

  • Place the non-flammable felt mat on a heat-resistant, stable surface.

  • Make sure the area is well-ventilated, away from strong drafts and air-conditioning.

  • Keep away from curtains, papers, loose fabrics, and anything that can easily catch fire.

  • Never leave burning incense unattended or within reach of children and pets.

2. How to Light the Leaf Incense

  1. Gently place one leaf incense on the felt mat, with the tip facing outward.

  2. Use a lighter or match to ignite the very edge of the leaf tip.

  3. Let the flame burn for a few seconds, then gently blow it out.

  4. A thin, steady line of smoke should appear, and the ember will slowly travel along the leaf.

3. During Burning

  • Do not move the burning leaf or the tray while it is lit.

  • Avoid touching the leaf, tray, or felt mat – they can become hot.

  • Enjoy the scent from a comfortable distance; there is no need to lean too close.

  • Open a window slightly if you prefer a lighter, more diffused aroma.

4. After the Ritual

  • Allow the ash to cool completely before touching or cleaning.

  • Carefully lift the cooled ash together with the felt or use a soft brush to remove it.

  • Dispose of the ash in a non-flammable bin – never throw hot ash into the trash.

  • Store unused leaves in their original packaging, away from humidity and direct sunlight.

5. Safety Notes

  • For indoor use only on a fire-safe surface.

  • Do not burn for extended periods in small, unventilated spaces.

  • People who are sensitive to smoke or fragrance should use with caution.

  • If irritation occurs, extinguish immediately and ventilate the room.

6. How to Use Without Burning

You can also enjoy HEJI Rituals leaf incense as:

  • A drawer or wardrobe scent, placed on a small tray.

  • A desk or bedside object, subtly perfuming the surrounding air.

  • A seasonal decoration on branches, Christmas trees, or gift wrapping (unlit).

Even unburned, each leaf holds a gentle fragrance that complements your daily space rituals.
