🤲✨ Altruism Incense - Purification 12 VIRTUES Nuna Terra – Double-Dipped Handmade Incense Sticks · 8 Sticks · Up to 80 min

Altruism transforms into Purification

“Letting go of self-love, feeling joy for what we are capable of giving, helps us to create a space to build something new, to transform ourselves and purify ourselves.”

The Altruism Incense - Purification 12 VIRTUES from Nuna Terra develops a transformation based on the ability to give, share and open space for the new .

In this virtue, Altruism represents the possibility of looking beyond self-interest and discovering satisfaction in what we are able to contribute to others.

A gesture.

Time.

Aid.

Listen.

Knowledge.

Company.

When we stop placing ourselves permanently at the center, Nuna Terra suggests we can create a new inner space. A place from which to examine what we've accumulated, let go of what we no longer need, and allow transformation to emerge.

That's when:

Altruism transforms into Purification.

Purification understood here from a symbolic and spiritual perspective: letting go, renewing, transforming and creating space to start again.

Aromatically, Nuna Terra represents this virtue through a Floral Bouquet , with a heart of Sugar and a base of Musk and Soft Wood .

A composition that begins floral, acquires a sweet facet in the heart and ends on a musky and delicately woody base.

✨ 12 VIRTUES: Giving can also create space

The 12 VIRTUES collection by Nuna Terra explores different human qualities and the transformations that can arise from them.

In this variety:

🤲 ALTRUISM

↓

✨ PURIFICATION

A fundamental idea emerges between the two:

DETACH

Not necessarily getting rid of everything.

Nor forget ourselves.

Rather, we must learn to recognize that our lives are not built solely around what we receive.

It is also constructed using:

that which we are capable of giving.

🤲 What does altruism mean?

Altruism can be understood as the willingness to act taking into account the well-being of other people, not exclusively our own benefit.

It can manifest itself in many ways:

❤️ Help
👂 Listen
🤝 Collaborate
⏳ Dedicate time
📚 Sharing knowledge
🌱 Take care
🎁 Give
🫂 Accompany
✨ Recognizing the needs of others

And not all altruistic acts have to be extraordinary.

Sometimes a seemingly small gesture can have great significance for the person who receives it.

💜 “Letting go of self-love”

This expression from Nuna Terra can be interpreted with some caution.

Altruism does not mean ceasing to love each other.

Self-love, understood as respect and care for oneself, does not have to be contrary to altruism.

We can interpret the phrase as an invitation to decenter the ego : to stop observing each situation solely from the perspective of questioning:

“What do I get out of it?”

to incorporate another:

“What can I contribute?”

It's not about ceasing to value ourselves.

It's about understanding that we can value ourselves without always becoming the center of attention.

😊 The joy of giving

Nuna Terra continues:

“To feel joy for what we are capable of giving.”

Giving can take many forms.

It doesn't always mean giving something material.

We can offer:

⏳ Time
👂 Attention
💬 One word
🤲 Help
📚 Experience
❤️ Affection
🌱 Take care
🎨 Creativity
🫂 Company

And there is an important difference between giving out of obligation and doing it because we recognize value in the very act of sharing.

⚖️ Altruism does not mean forgetting about ourselves

Giving doesn't require exhausting ourselves.

Helping does not mean accepting any request.

Being generous does not mean allowing abuse.

We can practice altruism and at the same time:

🛑 Set limits
🧘 Rest
❤️ Taking care of ourselves
🗣️ Saying “no”
⚖️ Seek reciprocity when appropriate
🚪 Staying away from harmful situations

Caring for others and caring for ourselves don't have to be opposing ideas.

✨ How does Altruism transform into Purification?

Nuna Terra connects both virtues through the act of creating space .

When we let go of something, a space becomes available.

This can be applied symbolically to:

🏡 Objects
🧠 Thoughts
📅 Habits
❤️ Old resentments
🎯 Priorities
🔄 Stages
🪞 Ways of relating to ourselves

Not everything needs to be preserved forever.

Some things serve their purpose and then we can let them go.

Letting go allows you to reorganize.

Reorganizing allows transformation.

Transformation can open up space for the new.

✨ What does Purification mean in this incense?

In the context of 12 VIRTUES , Purification should be understood primarily from one perspective:

🙏 Spiritual
✨ Symbolic
🧘 Personal
🌱 Philosophical
🔄 Ritual

It can represent:

✨ Renewal
🧹 Symbolic cleansing
🌱 New beginnings
🕊️ Let go
🔄 Transformation
🏡 Renovate a space
🧘 Create a moment of introspection

Incense smoke does not physically purify the air or disinfect a room .

When we talk about purification here, we are referring to the traditional and symbolic meaning of the practice.

💐🍬🤍🪵 What does Altruism - Purification smell like?

Nuna Terra develops a seemingly simple, yet very balanced composition:

💐 Floral Bouquet

Build the floral personality of the fragrance.

🍬 Sugar

It forms the heart and adds a sweet and gourmand facet.

🤍 Musk

It introduces softness, depth, and an enveloping sensation.

🪵 Soft Wood

Complete the background with a delicate woody character.

The result:

Floral · Sweet · Musky · Woody · Soft · Enveloping

Virtue: Altruism 🤲
Transformation: Purification ✨
Top Note: Floral Bouquet
Heart: Sugar
Base: Musk and Soft Wood
Profile: Floral · Sweet · Musky · Woody · Soft
Collection: 12 VIRTUES
Format: Double Binding
Contents: 8 sticks
Duration: Up to 80 minutes per stick

💐 Floral Bouquet: a scented opening

The composition begins with a floral bouquet .

In perfumery, talking about a bouquet means describing a set or accord of a floral character.

You can provide an impression:

💐 Floral
🌸 Scented
🤍 Delicate
✨ Harmonious
🌷 Enveloping

Nuna Terra does not specify which specific flowers make up this bouquet.

Therefore, we should not automatically convert it into:

Pink.

Jasmine.

Gardenia.

Lily.

Orange blossom.

Violet.

Nor any other specific flower.

The declared note is Floral Bouquet.

🍬 Sugar: a sweet heart

Sugar appears in the center of the composition.

It brings a facet:

🍬 Sweet
🍰 Gourmand
🤍 Soft
✨ Sweet tooth
☁️ Enveloping

The contrast is interesting.

The floral bouquet provides the fragrant character.

Sugar softens and sweetens it.

Floral + sweet

It thus becomes the aromatic core of Altruism - Purification.

🤍 Musk: softness and depth

Musk appears in the background.

Its aromatic profile can evoke a sensation:

🤍 Soft
✨ Enveloping
☁️ Rounded
🌙 Deep
🕊️ Persistent

Musk helps to provide continuity to the composition and complements both the floral and sweet character particularly well.

⚠️ Musk does not necessarily mean animal origin

The word “Musk” here describes an aromatic note .

It does not allow us to affirm that the incense contains natural musk of animal origin.

In contemporary perfumery there are different ways to build musky profiles.

Therefore, we only retain confirmed information:

Musk base.

🪵 Soft Wood: a delicately wood-based base

Alongside Musk we find Soft Wood .

It contributes:

🪵 Woody character
🤎 Warmth
☁️ Softness
✨ Depth
🌿 Balance

Nuna Terra does not identify a specific wood.

Therefore, we must not turn “Soft Wood” into:

Sandalwood.

Cedar.

Palo Santo.

Oud.

Ebony.

Nor any other specific species.

The declared note is Soft Wood.

💐 → 🍬 → 🤍🪵

The aromatic evolution of Altruism - Purification can be summarized as follows:

💐 FLORAL BOUQUET

Floral · Perfumed · Harmonious

↓

🍬 SUGAR

Sweet · Gourmand · Mild

↓

🤍 MUSK + 🪵 SOFT WOOD

Enveloping · Woody · Warm · Deep

A progressive and balanced structure.

Floral beginning.

It becomes sweet.

And finally, it rests on a soft, enveloping base.

🧹 Create space for the new

One of the most interesting ideas about this virtue is:

“To create a space to build something new.”

To incorporate something new, sometimes we need to review what already occupies our space.

We can do it literally:

🏡 Tidying a room.

👕 Donating what we no longer use.

📦 Letting go of accumulated objects.

But also symbolically:

🧠 Reviewing thoughts.

📅 Changing habits.

❤️ Leaving resentments behind.

🎯 Reordering priorities.

🚪 Closing chapters.

Not everything that accompanied us has to accompany us forever.

🎁 Giving away what we no longer need

Altruism and Purification can be found even in an everyday gesture.

We have something in good condition that we no longer use.

We can keep it indefinitely.

Discard it.

Or allow someone else to use it.

In that gesture:

we give

and simultaneously:

We create space.

It is a very simple representation of:

Altruism → Purification

🕯️ Altruism Ritual - Purification

Place a stick in a stable, heat-resistant incense holder.

Light it and leave only the embers.

Take a sheet of paper and divide the reflection into three parts.

1. WHAT CAN I GIVE?

Could be:

Time.

Aid.

Attention.

Knowledge.

An object you no longer use.

A gesture.

2. WHAT CAN I LET GO OF?

A habit.

An unnecessary accumulation.

A concern you can no longer act upon.

One stage completed.

3. WHAT DO I WANT TO BUILD IN THAT NEW SPACE?

A project.

A routine.

A more conscious relationship.

A moment of calm.

A new beginning.

You can close with an intention:

“I give from freedom, not from obligation. I let go of what has already served its purpose and make space to transform, renew, and build something new.”

🧹 For symbolic cleansing rituals

Because of its concept of Purification, it can accompany practices symbolically intended to:

✨ Refresh an environment
🏡 Starting a new chapter at home
🧹 Organize a space
🚪 Closing a cycle
🌱 Start a project
🧘 Meditate after a busy day
🔄 Mark a change
🙏 Perform a spiritual practice

Incense can provide aroma, smoke, and ritual significance , but it does not replace physical cleaning nor does it materially purify the air.

🏡 Exterior order, interior renovation

Some people use the act of tidying up as a moment of renewal.

You can open the windows.

Order.

Physically clean the space.

Remove what you no longer use.

And then, use Altruism - Purification as an aromatic and symbolic closing.

In this way we clearly distinguish:

🧹 PHYSICAL CLEANING

It is done by cleaning, removing dust, ventilating and using appropriate methods.

✨ SYMBOLIC PURIFICATION

It can be accompanied by incense, intention, prayer, meditation, or other personal rituals.

🔮 For Tarot and Oracles

Altruism - Purification can symbolically accompany consultations related to:

🤲 Generosity
✨ Renewal
🕊️ Detachment
🚪 Closing cycles
🌱 New beginnings
❤️ Relationships
🎁 Giving and receiving
🔄 Transformation
🧹 That which we need to leave behind

Some questions related to this virtue might be:

What can I contribute at this time?

What am I keeping even though I no longer need it?

What do I need to let go of to create space?

Am I giving freely or out of obligation?

Incense does not determine the answers to a reading nor does it alter future events.

⚖️ The balance between giving and receiving

Altruism does not mean that we always have to be giving.

Relationships may also require reciprocity.

Can:

🤲 Give.

And also:

❤️ Receive.

Help.

And allow them to help us.

Hear.

And to ask to be heard.

Accepting support does not make us less altruistic.

Balance prevents generosity from turning into exhaustion.

🏡 Also as a home fragrance

It is not necessary to perform any ritual to enjoy Altruism - Purification.

You might like it simply if you're looking for a fragrance:

💐 Floral
🍬 Sweet
🤍 Musky
🪵 Woody
☁️ Soft
✨ Enveloping

The sugar adds a gourmand dimension, but the base of musk and wood prevents the composition from being limited to a purely sweet profile.

💐 Courage and Altruism: two very different Floral Bouquets

Within 12 VIRTUES we find two varieties that start from a Floral Bouquet , but evolve in different ways.

🦁 COURAGE → 🕊️ LIBERATION

Floral Bouquet · Water · Sandalwood · Coumarin · Amber

💐 Floral
💧 Aquatic
🪵 Woody
🧡 Amber

Fresher, more aquatic and warm-woody .

🤲 ALTRUISM → ✨ PURIFICATION

Floral Bouquet · Sugar · Musk · Soft Wood

💐 Floral
🍬 Sweet
🤍 Musky
🪵 Softly woody

Sweeter, softer, and musky .

Therefore, sharing a floral opening does not mean that both fragrances have the same personality.
