Indigo Smoke
Indigo Smoke opens with bergamot and vetiver together — an unusual pairing that reads as earthy-citrus, slightly austere, with the vetiver's smokiness already present before the incense arrives.

By the editors · 2 min readIndigo Smoke opens with bergamot and vetiver together — an unusual pairing that reads as earthy-citrus, slightly austere, with the vetiver's smokiness already present before the incense arrives. Cinnamon and apricot surface quickly, adding a warm-spicy sweetness against that smoky backdrop.
Guaiac wood forms the structural center, dry and faintly rubbery, reinforcing the smoke. Apricot keeps the heart from turning purely austere, offering a soft lactonic contrast that prevents the composition from becoming oppressive.
Frankincense and incense deepen the base considerably, pushing the smoke forward as the dominant character. Vanilla integrates quietly, softening rather than sweetening. The result is a resinous, smoky fragrance with enough warmth and fruit to stay approachable.
