🤝💙 Courtesy Incense - Empathy 12 VIRTUES Nuna Terra – Double-Dipped Handmade Incense Sticks · 8 Sticks · Up to 80 min

Courtesy transforms into Empathy

“Distorted courtesy is an empty gesture; true courtesy sees the other person's highest self. Only with the heart can we truly see.”

The Courtesy Incense - Empathy 12 VIRTUES from Nuna Terra develops a transformation that begins in our way of relating to others and ends much more deeply: in our ability to try to understand the person in front of us .

Because courtesy can remain on the surface.

An automatic greeting.

A learned word.

A gesture performed solely because social norms dictate that it is appropriate to do so.

Nuna Terra proposes going further.

True courtesy arises when we recognize that in front of us there is another person with their own history, emotions, concerns, desires, and circumstances.

Then the gesture ceases to be empty.

Education becomes consideration.

Consideration allows one to listen.

And from that perspective, the following may arise:

Empathy.

To aromatically represent this transformation, Nuna Terra proposes a very different composition within 12 VIRTUES: Ozonic Accords and Sea Water , with a heart of Seaweed and Violet Leaves , on a base of Oakmoss and White Musk .

A predominantly fresh, marine and green fragrance, with an earthy and musky base that adds depth.

Marine · Ozonic · Fresh · Green · Aquatic · Earthy · Musky

🤝 Courtesy → 💙 Empathy · 🌬️ Ozonic Accords · 🌊 Seawater · 🌿 Seaweed · 🍃 Violet Leaves · 🌳 Oakmoss · 🤍 White Musk · Double Blend · 8 Sticks · ⏱️ Up to 80 min

✨ 12 VIRTUES: when education ceases to be just a way

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

In this variety:

🤝 COURTESY

↓

💙 EMPATHY

The route could be expressed as follows:

🤝 Courtesy

↓

👁️ Recognition

↓

👂 Listen

↓

❤️ Understanding

↓

💙 Empathy

Courtesy can begin with our manners.

Empathy goes much further:

try to reach the person who exists behind them.

🤝 What does Courtesy mean?

Courtesy encompasses those behaviors through which we express consideration and respect towards others.

It can appear in very simple actions:

👋 Say hello
🙏 Give thanks
🗣️ Speak respectfully
👂 Listen
🚪 Facilitate passage
⏳ Respect other people's time
🤝 Ask for things appropriately
💬 Apologizing when appropriate
❤️ Be mindful of how our actions affect others

These gestures help to build coexistence.

But Nuna Terra introduces an important nuance:

The form, by itself, is not always enough.

🎭 “Distorted courtesy is an empty gesture”

We can do something seemingly kind without feeling any real consideration for the person in front of us.

Say:

"Thank you."

"Good morning."

"I'm sorry."

it can simply become a formula.

This does not mean that social formulas lack value.

This means they can acquire much more meaning when there is something behind them:

a genuine intention to recognize the other.

👁️ See the person, not just their behavior

Nuna Terra speaks of contemplation:

“in the other person their highest self.”

We can interpret this idea as an invitation to look beyond the first impression.

The people we meet carry with them experiences that we are usually unaware of.

Someone might be:

😔 Going through a difficult time.

😰 Worried.

😴 Sold out.

❤️ Excited.

💼 Under pressure.

🌱 Trying to change.

🧠 Processing something we don't know.

It does not mean justifying any behavior.

Understanding and justifying are not necessarily the same thing.

We can try to understand a person and, at the same time, maintain our boundaries.

💙 How does courtesy transform into empathy?

Authentic courtesy begins when we acknowledge the other person.

Empathy deepens that perspective.

We can ask ourselves:

"How might the other person be experiencing this situation?"

No:

“How would I experience it?”

But:

"How could she experience it from her own history and circumstances?"

Therein lies a fundamental difference.

Empathy is not about turning others into ourselves.

It consists of trying to get closer to an experience that is not our own .

❤️ “Only with the heart can we see properly”

Nuna Terra's phrase uses the heart as a symbol of a gaze that goes beyond the surface.

We can relate it to:

❤️ Sensitivity
👂 Listen
🤝 Consideration
🫂 Understanding
🙏 Respect
💙 Empathy

It does not mean giving up on reason.

We can use:

❤️ heart

and

🧠 thought

at the same time.

Feel.

Hear.

Reflect.

And then decide how to act.

💙 Empathy doesn't mean agreeing

This distinction is important.

We can understand why someone thinks a certain way and not share their opinion.

We can understand an emotion without considering a behavior correct.

We can listen without giving in.

We can show empathy and set boundaries.

Understanding does not obligate one to pass.

Empathy allows us to try to see the other person's perspective.

What we do with that understanding afterward is a different matter.

🌬️🌊🌿🍃🌳🤍 What does Courtesy - Empathy smell like?

This variety has one of the most clearly marine and ozonic profiles of 12 VIRTUDES.

🌬️ Ozonic Chords

They provide a fresh, airy and expansive feeling.

🌊 Seawater

It reinforces the aquatic and marine character.

🌿 Seaweed

They add a green, marine, and distinctive dimension.

🍃 Violet Leaves

They introduce a green and vegetal nuance.

🌳 Oakmoss

It adds earthy and wooded depth.

🤍 White Musk

It rounds off the background with a clean, soft, and enveloping feel.

The result:

Ozonic · Marine · Aquatic · Green · Fresh · Earthy · Musky

Virtue: Courtesy 🤝
Transformation: Empathy 💙
Main notes: Ozonic chords and Seawater
Heart: Seaweed and Violet Leaves
Background: Oakmoss and White Musk
Profile: Marine · Ozonic · Fresh · Green · Earthy · Musky
Collection: 12 VIRTUES
Format: Double Binding
Contents: 8 sticks
Duration: Up to 80 minutes per stick

🌬️ Ozonic Chords: a feeling of air and spaciousness

Ozonic accords are part of the language of modern perfumery.

They are used to evoke impressions such as:

🌬️ Air
✨ Olfactory cleansing
☁️ Amplitude
🍃 Freshness
🌊 Aquatic atmospheres
💨 Lightness

The term “ozonic” here describes an aromatic family or effect .

It does not mean that incense produces ozone or that it physically cleans the air.

🌊 Seawater: the marine character

Alongside the Ozonic Chords appears Sea Water .

This note introduces a dimension:

🌊 Marina
💧 Aquatic
🍃 Fresh
✨ Clean
🌬️ Airy

Unlike a generic note on “Water”, here Nuna Terra expressly specifies:

Seawater

Therefore, the marine character is indeed part of the aromatic identity of this variety.

🌿 Seaweed: Ocean Depth

Seaweed appears in the heart.

Their presence can make an impression:

🌿 Green
🌊 Marina
💧 Aquatic
🪨 Mineral
🍃 Natural
✨ Deep

They help to develop the oceanic character initiated by Seawater.

But we should not automatically assume that the incense contains physical algae or natural algae extracts.

We are describing the aromatic notes declared by Nuna Terra .

🍃 Violet Leaves: green before floral

Violet leaves appear alongside the algae.

And here there is an important nuance.

Nuna Terra does not indicate:

🌸 Violet Flower

but:

🍃 Violet Leaves.

Therefore, its aromatic function is primarily oriented towards one facet:

🍃 Green
🌿 Vegetable
💧 Fresh
✨ Delicate

We shouldn't automatically turn it into a floral scent of violets.

🌳 Oakmoss: depth and earth

After an opening and a heart dominated by air, water and vegetation, Oakmoss appears.

It adds a dimension:

🌳 Earthy
🌲 Wooded
🍃 Green
🍂 Deep
🤎 Wet
✨ Elegant

It is precisely this note that provides an interesting counterweight to the initial lightness.

Of:

🌬️ air

and:

🌊 water

we went towards:

🌳 earth.

🤍 White Musk: a smooth finish

The base is completed with White Musk .

Its profile is often associated olfactorily with an impression:

🤍 Soft
✨ Clean
☁️ Enveloping
🕊️ Delicate
🌙 Persistent

The term describes an aromatic note and should not be interpreted as evidence of natural musk of animal origin .

🌬️🌊 → 🌿🍃 → 🌳🤍

The aromatic evolution of Courtesy - Empathy can be represented as follows:

🌬️ OZONE CHORDS + 🌊 SEA WATER

Airy · Marine · Aquatic · Fresh

↓

🌿 SEAWEED + 🍃 VIOLET LEAVES

Green · Vegetable · Marine

↓

🌳 Oakmoss + 🤍 White Musk

Earthy · Deep · Soft · Musky

A composition that begins open and airy, acquires a vegetal form, and ends on a deeper base.

🌊 One of the 12 freshest VIRTUES in the collection

Compared to gourmand varieties such as:

🍓 Joy - Serenity

either:

🍯 Patience - Understanding

Courtesy - Empathy takes a completely different direction.

They don't dominate here:

Sugar.

Vanilla.

Honey.

Cream.

Sweet resins.

Their identity is built around:

🌬️ AIR

🌊 SEA

🍃 GREEN

🌳 EARTH

This makes it a particularly interesting option for those who prefer fresh fragrances over very sweet profiles.

👂 Listen to understand

A practical way to symbolically work on this virtue is to pay attention to the way we listen.

Often, while someone is speaking, we are already preparing our response.

We can try something different:

listen without immediately preparing a response.

Ask.

Clarify.

Let it finish.

And before you answer:

try to summarize what we have understood.

It seems simple.

But it can profoundly transform a conversation.

🪞 Change perspective

In the face of a conflict, we can write:

MY PERSPECTIVE

What happened from my point of view?

After:

YOUR POSSIBLE PERSPECTIVE

How might the other person have experienced the situation?

And finally:

WHAT I DON'T KNOW

What information am I missing?

This last part is especially important.

Empathizing doesn't mean inventing what another person feels.

When we don't know, we can ask.

🕯️ Courtesy Ritual - Empathy

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

Light it and leave only the embers.

Think of a relationship or conversation that you want to understand better.

On a sheet of paper write:

1. WHAT DO I FEEL?

Name your own experience.

2. WHAT DO I REALLY KNOW ABOUT THE OTHER PERSON?

Separate facts from interpretations.

3. WHAT AM I ASSURING?

Identify what you may be taking for granted.

4. WHAT COULD I ASK?

Look for a question that allows you to listen instead of making assumptions.

5. HOW CAN I EXPRESS MYSELF RESPECTFULLY WITHOUT GIVING UP MY BOUNDARIES?

You can close with an intention:

“I look beyond appearances. I listen before judging, I ask before assuming, and I recognize in each person an experience different from my own. May courtesy be born of respect and transform into empathy.”

❤️ Empathy also towards ourselves

The understanding we offer to others we can also try to apply to ourselves.

Sometimes we are able to say to someone:

“You’ve done what you could.”

But we demand of ourselves:

“You should have done it perfectly.”

Empathy can also begin by recognizing our own experience with greater perspective.

Without justifying all our mistakes.

But also not treating us with a harshness that we would never apply to someone we love.

🔮 For Tarot and Oracles

Courtesy - Empathy can symbolically accompany inquiries related to:

❤️ Relationships
💬 Communication
👂 Listen
🤝 Conflicts
💙 Empathy
🫂 Understanding
⚖️ Limits
👥 Family relationships
💼 Professional relationships

Some interesting questions:

Am I listening or just waiting for my turn to respond?

What part of this person's perspective am I missing?

What am I assuming without having asked?

How can I show understanding while maintaining my boundaries?

Incense does not allow you to know another person's thoughts nor does it determine the answers in a reading.

🏡 A sophisticated, green, marine fragrance for the home

You don't need to use Courtesy - Empathy with a spiritual intention.

It can also be enjoyed simply as an ambient fragrance.

You might especially like this if you're looking for incense:

🌬️ Ozonic
🌊 Marine
💧 Aquatic
🍃 Green
🌳 Earthy
🤍 Musky
✨ Fresh

Its structure offers a clear alternative to the sweet, gourmand or spicy floral aromas of other varieties of 12 VIRTUDES.

💧 Courage and Courtesy: two very different ways to use aquatic notes

Within the collection we can compare:

🦁 COURAGE → 🕊️ LIBERATION

Floral Bouquet · Water · Sandalwood · Coumarin · Amber

💐 Floral · 💧 Aquatic · 🪵 Woody · 🧡 Warm

Its Water note appears alongside Sandalwood and ends on a warm background.

🤝 COURTESY → 💙 EMPATHY

Ozonic Accords · Seawater · Seaweed · Violet Leaves · Oakmoss · White Musk

🌬️ Ozonic · 🌊 Marine · 🍃 Green · 🌳 Earthy · 🤍 Musky

Here the aquatic character is much more prominent and specifically marine .

Therefore:

Courage - Liberation → aquatic, floral and warm.

Courtesy - Empathy → marine, green, fresh and musky.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is Courtesy - Empathy? 12 VIRTUES?

It is a variety from the 12 VIRTUES collection by Nuna Terra that symbolically develops the transformation of Courtesy into Empathy.

What does Courtesy - Empathy mean?

Nuna Terra distinguishes between superficial courtesy and that which arises from genuinely recognizing the person in front of us. From this understanding, a more empathetic perspective can develop.

What does it smell like?

It combines Ozonic Accords and Sea Water , with a heart of Seaweed and Violet Leaves and a base of Oakmoss and White Musk .

Is it a marine scent?

Yes. Seawater and seaweed are explicitly part of its aromatic profile.

What does “ozonic” mean?

In perfumery, it describes accords intended to evoke fresh, airy, and expansive sensations. It does not mean that the product generates ozone.

Does it smell like violets?

The indicated note is specifically Violet Leaves , so we should expect mainly a green and vegetal facet, not assume a scent centered on the violet flower.

Is it sweet?

Its structure is not primarily oriented towards a sweet profile. Fresh, marine, green, earthy, and musky facets predominate.

What does Oakmoss provide?

A deep, earthy, green facet that contrasts with the marine and ozonic opening.

Does it contain natural oak moss?

The aromatic note does not confirm this. It describes the profile indicated by Nuna Terra, not necessarily its exact physical composition.

What is White Musk?

It is an aromatic description used for soft, clean, and musky profiles. It does not, in itself, imply the use of animal musk.

Does it contain natural algae?

It cannot be stated solely based on the aromatic notes. “Seaweed” describes the profile provided by Nuna Terra.

Does it help develop empathy?

It does not automatically produce empathy. It can be used as an aromatic and symbolic accompaniment during reflection, meditation, or practices related to communication and relationships.

Can you help me understand how another person feels?

No. Empathy involves trying to understand and, when possible, listening or asking questions. Smudging does not allow you to know other people's thoughts or emotions.

Can I use it simply to scent my house?

Yes. It can be enjoyed solely as a fresh, marine, green, and musky fragrance.

How many rods does it contain?

Contains 8 sticks .

How long does each rod last?

Up to 80 minutes , depending on combustion conditions.

If all eight reached the maximum duration indicated, it would be up to 640 minutes , approximately 10 hours and 40 minutes .

Do you need coal?

No. It is a direct combustion incense.

Are aromatic notes necessarily natural ingredients?

No. Ozonic Accords, Sea Water, Seaweed, Violet Leaves, Oakmoss and White Musk describe the aromatic profile declared by Nuna Terra and do not allow determining the formula or raw materials used on their own.

🤝💙 Courtesy - Empathy: looking beyond the gesture

Its ozonic accords and seawater create a fresh, airy, and distinctly marine opening. Seaweed and violet leaves develop a green and vegetal heart. Finally, oakmoss and white musk bring earth, depth, and softness.

A very different composition within 12 VIRTUDES and especially attractive to those looking for fresh profiles instead of predominantly sweet aromas.
