Incense - "Archive"

White Lavender, Neroli, Ginger and Tea

THE INSPIRATION

I am always intrigued by the conversations witnessed over the years by a painting, a vase, an old earthenware pot before each comes to settle here in the studio for a while.  This scent is inspired by those very conversations.  Scents that were present in the past but still in our everyday. 

As all incense, the main scent is wood.

The scent notes are - White Lavender, Neroli, Ginger and Tea

THE MAKING

A collection of long incense where scents have been applied with two separate layers of essential oils and fragrance. 

The scent has been applied with an artist's brush, to ensure the scent is applied evenly.  The incense has had two layers of scent to ensure a gentle aroma remains in your room after the incense has been burnt. Each layer has been left to dry naturally.

DETAILS

This pack contains seven long incense sticks, each measure 28cm and has a burn time of around an hour.

Light the end of the incense, allow the flame to dance for approximately 5-7 seconds, then blow the flame out.  What you should have remaining is a smoulder that sustains a gently scented woody smoke.  You can stand the incense in a specially designed holder, or place in a small found/vintage pot but remember to place the pot on a small plate or tile to catch the ash as it burns.  At home I use an old earthenware pot that rests on a Victorian tile.  

INGREDIENTS

Essential Oils, a hint of Fragrance Oils, Wood, Bamboo, Natural Resin.
