It seems that all the biggest names in fragrance are indulging in incense, and it could not come at a better time. Autumn feels like the perfect season for rituals rooted in the soft smoke and earthiness of incense. And Jo Malone's debut into this format through Dark Amber and Hinoki & Cedarwood Incense is a notable launch.

As one of the best home fragrance brands, Jo Malone's blends will not only smell amazing in your home, but evoke a sense of intention in the way you use scent around your living spaces. Another thoughtful bonus is the incense holders included in each set.

So, as someone who essentially tests designer home fragrance for a living, here's why I'm recommending Jo Malone incense to anyone who loves a dusky scent.

Jo Malone London

Dark Amber Incense

Designed with the Japanese ritual of kōdō in mind, this Dark Amber incense is cut with notes of ginger. Each of the 30 sticks lasts 25 to 30 minutes and comes with a small pumice holder to support your scent rituals.

Jo Malone London

Hinoki & Cedarwood Incense

Much like dark amber, this hinoki and cedarwood blend is another fragrance that sets the tone by sunset. If your interiors are inspired by forest bathing, this scent will feel like a natural extension of your home.

Dark Amber Incense Set

This set comes with 30 incense sticks and a spherical holder to neatly collect the ash. And it's available in the Hinoki & Cedarwood fragrance, too. This erases the hassle of tidying up during and after this reset ritual.

Alternative Incense to Shop

Aesop

Sarashina Aromatique Incense Sticks Pack of 33

This incense set from Aesop boasts a comforting blend of sandalwood, cinnamon, and clove. If you ask me, it's another great accompaniment to your autumn reset.

Loewe

Tomato Leaves Incense Set

For a lighter fragrance more attuned to daytime, I recommend this bright tomato leaves scent from Loewe.

DROPLET

Wild Berry Set of 26 Incense Droplets

Of all of the fragranced incense droplets, this wild berry scent is my favorite for a warming atmosphere.

Evermore

Moon Incense Sticks

Although I don't typically enjoy floral incense, these notes of rose petals, saffron, violet leaf, patchouli, cedarwood, and cade might have me reconsidering my taste.

P.F. Candle Co.

Milky Santal Incense Sticks

Santal is usually a rich, strong scent. However, it takes on a lighter, creamier fragrance in this set from P.F. Candle Co.

Kyoto Nagomikobo

Green Tea Incense Sticks

As someone who adores Japanese candle scents, this green tea set from Kyoto Nagomikobo is next on my list of incense to try.

In the mood for a scent that suits this romantically crisp autumn weather? Woody home fragrance is my recommendation for the season. And don't forget to sign up for the Livingetc newsletter to keep up with the latest designer fragrances.
