Rose Incense: A spicy-floral fragrance with a slightly sweet note. The warm, resinous incense (olibanum) forms the foundation upon which the full fragrance of the rose petals can unfold. The addition of naturally pure Crimean rose absolute—one of the most highly concentrated essences among fragrances—intensifies the distinct floral note. The result of this classic blend is a balancing, well-rounded mixture that conveys a sense of calm and security, thereby promoting relaxation.

From resins, woods, flowers, and leaves to roots, bark, twigs, and seeds: Flora Perpetua’s incense blends are made exclusively from all-natural, hand-selected plant materials. Pure plant-based binders such as tragacanth and gum arabic bind the ingredients as needed and ensure a controlled burn. This allows the individual ingredients to burn evenly and in harmony, so that every blend consistently delivers a homogeneous, harmonious fragrance experience.

From time immemorial, fragrant woods, resins and plants have been burned at the campfire, and in many cultures incense has become established not only for cultic and religious rites, but is also an integral part of the art of healing, such as in Traditional Chinese Medicine. In the name perfume, which derives from the Latin per fumum (= through the smoke), the custom of incense is documented to this day. And it still enjoys great popularity, whether for atmospheric enhancement or to specifically take advantage of the beneficial effects of incense. In order for the aromas of the incense to fully develop, both their quality and the combination are crucial. Our incense materials are natural, they come directly from the respective country of origin and are selected and compiled in Germany with the utmost care.

The incense materials can be smoked both on the incense charcoal as well as on a teapot, if it is equipped with a wire screen for laying the incense. To prevent the resins from sticking the teapot warmer's wire screen, sprinkle a small amount of fine sand on the screen or place aluminum foil on it before placing the smoking material here. Flower and resin remover, for example, is suitable for cleaning the sieve. Or put it in the freezer, the frozen resin can then be removed more easily. But the sieves can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Flora Perpetua—“the eternal principle of the plant”—has been not only the name but also the guiding principle of a family-owned business since 1974, dedicated to sourcing and refining high-quality plant-based materials for incense and room fragrances. The goal: to make nature’s aromatic diversity accessible. The foundation for this exceptionally high-quality product line is a deep understanding of the raw materials themselves, a profound connection to nature, and expertise in creating fragrance blends that has grown over two generations. At Flora Perpetua’s manufacturing facility in northern Germany, these products are carefully handcrafted by an experienced team. They are ideal for accompanying rituals or meditation and can help enhance well-being.
