檜木鉛筆

The wood is so light and smooth when you sharpen them, and every pencil smells like a tiny forest just landed on your desk. I keep reaching for these over my regular ones just to catch that fresh evergreen scent again.

The citrus note in the wood actually comes through as I write—it's like having a tiny piece of a forest on my desk. The wood is so smooth it glides across paper without any drag, and sharpening reveals that gorgeous fresh scent all over again.

I wasn't expecting sharpening one of these to be such a mood boost, but that fresh evergreen-and-citrus smell lingers on my hands for a while. The wood from Iwaki feels silky against the paper as I write, not waxy or brittle. My whole pencil cup smells like a forest now.
