What it is

A ceremonial ritual practiced since 6th century Japan, handcrafted for your at-home self-care ritual.

Since 6th century Japan, the ancient ritual of burning incense has been used in ceremony, spirituality, and meditation. This simple practice helps to purify our spaces and reconnect us to our inner-most selves.



DAMDAM incense sticks are crafted thicker in diameter for a steady, even burn and lovingly housed inside a paper-fine wooden box for slow enjoyment.



Made by local artisans with over two hundred years of experience crafting incense, each stick starts from the dried and powdered bark of the Japanese bay tree Machilus thunbergii. Fragrant herbal medicines and essences are added, creating a thick paste later pressed into individual sticks.



Sandalwood (36 pc): For calming the mind. A deep, woody, complex blend of floral and balsamic notes. Light this incense to let anxiety melt away. Pairs gorgeously with baths, afternoon tea, a book in bed, or simply to reach for mental clarity and peace at the end of a busy day.



Conifer (39 pc): For grounding the senses. Equal parts smoky and citrus, conifer smells of the natural world — of leaves, wood, and stone. Light for yoga, meditation, or in moments of solitude.



Cinnamon (39 pc): For energy. Sweet spicy cinnamon invites creative vibrations, enhances focus and concentration, and breathes fresh chi into your space. Light during the change of seasons, new projects, or times of self-protection.



Meli Melo (39 pc): For change. The French word for mix, méli-mélo includes our signature sandalwood, conifer, and cinnamon scents in one box. Listen to your mood and choose accordingly.



Osmanthus (39 pc): For finding your calm. Of the jasmine and lilac family, osmanthus is a peachy floral scent with subtle smoky undertones. Used for centuries in folk medicine, osmanthus is clinically proven to reduce feelings of stress when inhaled. Use to center yourself in times of stress.



Shiso (39 pc): For clearing the mind. Japanese Shiso smells fresh and crisp, like a field of mint on a dewy morning. Light this incense when you want to cleanse your palate and start anew.



Amber (39 pc): For cleansing the spirit. Sensual and warm, amber is referenced in some cultures as the nectar of gods — known to heal, balance, seduce, and protect from harming energies.

  • Holding one end, light the incense away from your body.
  • Insert the unburnt end into an incense holder, letting its aroma cleanse and fill your space.
  • Enjoy while performing your daily skincare rituals to enter a state of calm.

Real Results

  • ALLURE

    "Best face wash to melt makeup, sweat, and oil — Nomad's Cream Purifying Cleanser, powered by an AHA found in Japanese rice and the tiniest granules, is supremely gentle and leaves my skin freakin' soft and not tight, which is key."

  • WHO WHAT WEAR

    "When I say Citrus Glow gave my skin back a glow, I mean it. The result felt instantaneous, and my skin not only looked brighter but felt plump, bouncy, nourished. The way my skin feels happy whenever I apply this is unparalleled. A++++!"

  • ELLE

    "I ran through this bottle of Silk Rice Cleansing Oil faster than anticipated because it's just that good. I absolutely hate when a cleanser gets into my eyes and burns, so I enjoy that this gently washes my eye makeup without any mishaps."

  • REFINERY 29

    "Perhaps it's how the Vitamin C is formulated, but Citrus Glow is so gentle on my skin while delivering real results. My skin looked visibly brighter after a week of use and felt super hydrated. I'm almost done with the bottle — I use this day and night!"

  • THE CUT

    "Applying this soothing and brightening Skin Mud Pure Mask once a week can really do skin wonders; plus, this formula from Japanese skincare brand DAMDAM is a fan favorite."

  • W

    "One of nature's most prized skin ingredients is rice bran oil. It helps maintain beautiful luster, hydration, and brightness. J-beauty brand DAMDAM's Rice Drops Oil Serum is non-comodogenic, light, and with consistent use, help protect skin against inflammation and damage."

  • WHO WHAT WEAR

    "Mochi Mochi? The product lives up to its name! That's what this moisturizer feels like — pillowy, light, buoyant. I feel like a perfectly formed little mochi ball, hydrated and plump after slathering myself with this moisturizer. This has quickly become my most joyful way to nourish my skin!"

  • VANITY FAIR

    "Snow Mushroom Salt Cleanser transforms into a frothy lather when used with the accompanying cornsilk mitt. The formula combines snow mushroom with humectant properties while the glove encourages gentle exfoliation. In the steam of the shower, it just feels right."
