LI QINGZHAO Incense Stick
Notice: For orders placed between 27th January and 4th February, shipment will resume on February 5th.
Li Qingzhao wrote of many flowers, calling osmanthus “the finest of them all,” but her heart belonged to the plum blossom. “This flower compares to none,” she wrote, describing not just a bloom, but herself. Like the plum, she was solitary, proud, and defiant against the harshest winters.
This fragrance is a tribute to her spirit, blending the crisp elegance of florals, fruits, and leaves. Australian sandalwood, chosen for its fresh green notes, pairs with Kyara agarwood, creating a scent that is pure, sharp, and unmistakably refined.
When I first read of her marriage to Zhao Mingcheng, it seemed the perfect match—two souls in harmony, united by love and scholarship. Later, I learned of her tragic second marriage, her exile, and the profound loss of her homeland.
While history remembers her for her delicate sorrow and calls her “the greatest female poet,” I see in her something far more resilient. Like the plum blossom that blooms despite the snow, she faced adversity with quiet strength.
