Vetiver Flora Incense Sticks

A complex vetiver incense with an evolving fragrance profile. Rooty and earthy vetiver notes form the base, while fresh grassy tones, subtle citrus hints, and cool minty forest nuances emerge throughout the burn. Crafted in a traditional dry masala style, this incense offers a layered and refreshing interpretation of classic vetiver.

Mike from the the Olfactory Rescue Service informs: “Vetiver (vetivert) feels like a different lineage altogether and is a very interesting dry masala with a few different notes. I wouldn’t even think of vetivert being a holiday sort of scent but the way this brings out mint and foresty notes constantly reminds me of that sort of thing, neither are notes I tend to associate with most vetivert incenses but they sometimes even pop from the fresh stick. And so even though this stick has more familiar sorts of vetivert notes, it has a much broader palette which tends to send the nose out searching along the burn. Vetivert usually seems to have deeper rooty or earthy sort notes which I mentally file closer to patchouli and for sure this sort of dry masala has some similarities to patchouli dry masalas as well. But vetivert can also tend to grassy and more citrus like notes and so the more earthy part of the scent seems more like its bunched up in the middle, while these other notes play off the base in strange and unique ways. The description includes halmaddi, but in this case its presence is probably pretty minor. Overall I do think this is a cool experience for sure. I wouldn’t have considered a more earthy, rooty scent to base something almost brighter and more high altitude but it’s part of what makes this an interesting incense. It’s likely to stretch one’s own interpretation of what vetivert can do.”

Known as Khus in India, Vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides) is a perennial grass indigenous to India. It holds a significant value for its aromatic roots, which find purpose in perfumery and aromatherapy. The roots of the vetiver plant are abundant in essential oils, contributing to its distinct aroma. Vetiver oil is extracted from these roots through steam distillation. This oil serves as a base note in perfumes, offering depth and endurance to fragrances. Furthermore, it finds application in skincare and relaxation therapies due to its calming and grounding properties.
