Sarah Swartz Wessel and Ethan Wessel of Phoenix-based Tennen partnered with a workshop in Kyoto to develop their incense, starting with this series inspired by the Sonoran Desert. Each package includes five clean-burning sticks in three scents: Ironwood Thorn – a bright mix of tobacco and oud; Ocotillo Bloom – a fresh, soft and earthy blend; and Spring Arroyo – a verdant floral, energized by bergamot. Each stick has a burn time of approximately 15 minutes. Due to their handmade nature, no two sticks are exactly the same – the diameter of each stick may vary.
