Lavender & Rose - A Classic That Still Surprises

You might think you know what lavender and rose smell like together. But this combination has something extra - a freshness that keeps it from falling into the typical potpourri trap. The lavender here is herbaceous and clean rather than powdery. The rose is soft but present, adding warmth without overwhelming sweetness. Together they create a scent that feels both familiar and new.

Sagrada Madre makes these sticks the traditional way - hand-rolled with natural charcoal and fruit biomass as the base. The lavender and rose are carefully sourced and processed without chemical treatments. This preserves their natural character and ensures the scent stays true to what these flowers actually smell like in nature. The brand partners with growers who use sustainable methods and receive fair compensation for their work.

Lavender has been prized since Roman times for its calming properties - the name comes from 'lavare,' meaning to wash, because it was used in bathhouses. Rose holds special significance across cultures as a symbol of love, beauty, and devotion. These two together invite a moment of gentleness - toward yourself and toward others.

What makes this incense special: A fresh take on the classic lavender and rose pairing. The balance here leans herbal rather than overly floral, making it suitable for daily use without becoming cloying. Perfect for evening rituals, quiet moments, or simply making your home feel warmer.

How Do You Use This Incense?

Light a stick when you're ready to transition from the day's demands to evening rest. The ritual is simple: light it, let it catch for a moment, blow out the flame. The smoke spreads gently, carrying that lavender and rose blend through your space. Each stick burns for about an hour, but 5 to 10 minutes is usually enough indoors to shift the atmosphere from tense to relaxed. Extinguish it by pressing the burning end into shell sand - the sand's water energy helps close the moment with intention.

This incense works well for evening baths, reading in bed, or those times when you need to let go of the day's stress. You can also burn it briefly before sleep to prepare your bedroom - the scent lingers just enough to make the transition to night feel softer and more intentional.
