The restart stick · 25 minutes · rose petal, sandalwood.
Focus doesn't fail all at once — it drains. Second Wind is the stick for the point where you're still at the desk but no longer in the work: light one, pick the single task you've been avoiding, and clear just that.
A true rose, dry rather than sweet, sitting on warm sandalwood. It reads as “reset,” not “romance” — the rose lifts, and the sandalwood keeps it at desk distance instead of filling the room. Two ingredients, no filler.

Common questions
How long does one Second Wind stick burn?
About 25 minutes (±3 minutes) in still air — one reset block. A draft across the stick shortens it slightly, so keep it out of the direct path of a fan or open window.
How much smoke does Second Wind make? Can I burn it in a small room?
Some — every burning incense stick produces smoke. Second Wind is a solid-pressed stick with no bamboo core and no charcoal, and it burns for about 25 minutes rather than an hour, so the total burned per session is small. We recommend a cracked window, and we don't publish smoke comparisons until our independent testing is complete. More in the FAQ.
When should I burn Second Wind?
Any time attention drains. The classic case is the slump after lunch, but the stick doesn't know what time it is — it works the same at 10 a.m. or 9 p.m. Rose over sandalwood lifts without sharpening, so it suits restarting rather than powering up.
