Not just for burning: Unbind your creativity!

Of course, you can use Aroma Cord like traditional incense to burn and enjoy, but with a bit of imagination, you can come up with all kinds of other ways to put Aroma Cord to use!

For example, you can fashion it into a bracelet or anklet, tie it into a decorative element and wear it as a pendant...

Trying out Aroma Cord incense

A writer at our sister site Grape took some Aroma Cord home to see how she could put it to use.

Here are the three she ordered:

"They looked so cute, like embroidery thread," she said.

From the moment she opened the bag, she could smell the wonderful fragrance. It was so nice that she decided to leave it as it was for a while since she could enjoy the fragrance without even burning it as incense.

"Eventually, I decided to tie it onto a gift for a friend," she told us. Here's how it looked:

It's a nice addition to a simple bag or box. "If you use it to tie a message card to your gift, the lucky recipient will enjoy the fragrance as they read your message," she noted.

Aroma Cord is a new type of incense that allows you to enjoy fragrance easily without even needing to burn it. You can enjoy different colors and scents according to your mood.
