The scent of lavender means something to almost everyone – a summer field, a grandmother's cupboard, a quiet evening.
The scent of lavender
The scent of lavender is fresh, floral and herbaceous – the calming, characteristic scent of Mediterranean summer fields. The masala base lends warmth beneath it, so the smoke stays soft and balanced. The aromatherapy tradition associates lavender with rest and relaxation.
When to reach for it
It is a wonderful companion for an evening wind-down, a bedtime ritual or a calm bath. The calming floral scent comes through best in a bedroom or bathroom.
Use and finish
A hand-rolled, traditional Indian masala stick, roughly 23 cm long, in a decorative hexagonal gift pack. Place it in a stable, non-flammable incense holder, light the tip, then blow out the flame so the ember glows on. Never leave burning incense unattended, and ventilate the room while it burns.
One lit stick, and the room settles – a gentle invitation to slow down at the end of the day.
