Some scents instantly evoke evening, candlelight and slowness – the "opium" composition is exactly one of these.
The "opium" fragrance profile
"Opium" here is an evocative fragrance name, not a botanical ingredient: the name of a warm, sweet oriental fragrance family known from the world of perfume. A deep, spicy and resinous character, where full sweetness meets a dark, balsamic backdrop. The masala base makes the smoke rich and softly billowing – a sensual, evening scent.
When to reach for it
It is a wonderful companion for an intimate evening, relaxing, or unwinding after a long day. The warm, oriental scent comes through best in a living room or bedroom.
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 fills with a warm, sensual drift – an invitation to slow down.
