Indus Treasures Vetiver Khus Incense Sticks 15g

Light this vetiver incense stick when the room needs to feel slower and more grounded. The scent is earthy and smoky, with a soft grassy sweetness that sits close to the air rather than feeling sharp or sugary. It suits evening rituals, a quiet reading corner, or the small pause between work and home.

Earthy vetiver, soft smoke

• The first impression is dry and root-like, with a green, grassy edge.
• As the stick settles, the smoke becomes warmer and rounder, leaving a quiet earthy trail.
• The scent feels especially at home beside low light, natural textures, and slow evenings.
• Its sweetness is gentle, more like dried grass than perfume.
• The cream and teal box has a patterned border that echoes the Indus Treasures mood: simple, historic, and decorative without fuss.

Hand-rolled incense

Each stick is hand-rolled and made with a vetiver fragrance, also known as khus. Vetiver is traditionally valued for its deep, earthy scent profile, often used when a fragrance needs depth, smoke and a green root-like character.

How to burn it well

Place the plain end of the stick in a heat-resistant incense holder or ash catcher. Light the coated tip, let it flame briefly, then blow it out so the end glows and releases smoke.

Burn in a ventilated room, away from curtains, pets and children. Never leave incense unattended, and allow the ash to cool fully before clearing it away.

Khus in daily ritual

Khus is the traditional name often used for vetiver, an aromatic grass known for its grounded, rooty fragrance. In Indian fragrance culture, vetiver has long been associated with cooling, earthy scent and a sense of stillness in the home. Here, that character becomes an everyday incense ritual: a simple way to mark a transition, scent a quiet room, or give a familiar space a more contemplative atmosphere.

Common questions

Is this a floral incense?
No. Vetiver khus is better understood as earthy, smoky and grassy, with a soft sweetness rather than a flower-like scent.
