This product was created to bring back memories of the burning smell of coal, which was widely used as fuel throughout Japan until the middle of the Showa period (1926-1989).
It is made from real coal and produced according to the traditional Japanese incense manufacturing procedure.
Recently, various odors have been taken up in the name of the Proustian phenomenon. This phenomenon seems to refer to the fact that people have odor memories deeply connected with their deepest memories (mainly of events in their infancy and childhood), and although they usually forget about them, they suddenly and vividly come back to life as soon as they sense the smell.
The name “Madeleine” is derived from the smell of madeleines dipped in tea at the beginning of “In Search of Lost Time” by Marcel Proust, the great French writer, which vividly evokes forgotten memories from which the story develops.
For those who spent their childhood in the 1950s and 1960s, the smell of burning coal, such as coal stoves in classrooms and working steam locomotives, seems to be a part of their fond memories.
We hope that this product will help these people recall their memories of their youth and immerse them in the memories of those days.
Please take care of fire prevention and ventilation when using this product, and if you are offended by this product, please stop using it immediately.
