Vetivert Incense Sticks, Indus Treasures, 15g

Product Overview

Earthy and smoky, with a sweet grassy thread running through it, vetivert is one of the more distinctive scents in this Indus Treasures range. The sticks are hand-rolled in India from resins, herbs and oils. A 15g pack holds around 12 sticks, enough to see how this green, rooty fragrance sits in your home before committing to more.

The Story Behind It

Vetiver is a tall grass whose roots, rather than its leaves, carry the scent. In northern India the roots are known as khus and are woven into screens and blinds that are dampened in summer, so that air passing through them comes in cooler and fragrant.

• Less common than sandalwood or musk, good for a change of pace

FAQ

Is vetivert the same as vetiver?
Yes, they are two spellings of the same grass. Vetivert is a common spelling in Indian perfumery.

Is the scent sweet or dry?
It is earthy and smoky, with sweet grassy notes, so it leans drier than a floral or musk.

How should I burn incense sticks safely?
Use a holder that catches falling ash and stand it on a heat-resistant surface, away from curtains and anything flammable. Never leave a lit stick unattended, keep it out of reach of children and pets, and air the room afterwards.
