Woody-earthy, balsamic-soft, lemony
Rose petals and lavender give the lovely heart note, bergamot and vervain a lemony freshness. Myrrh, sal resin and rosewood oil bring woody-balsamic depth.

Five organic ingredients
Lavender, clove, rose petals, liquorice and bergamot oil come from certified organic cultivation.
Everyday life often calls for hardness: asserting yourself, deciding quickly, functioning. In the process you sometimes lose sight of how you actually want to treat yourself and others.
In Gentleness, Indigo combines two plants with symbolic power: the rose for gentleness, vervain for courage. The blend is meant as a ritual to bring heart and mind together and to find the courage to stay loving, even when it is hard.
With twelve ingredients, including vervain, liquorice and rosewood oil, Gentleness is a balanced recipe. It is blended by hand in Vienna, as Indigo has done since 1991.
📋 How to use
Hold the incense charcoal with tongs over a flame to light it and place it on shell sand in a fireproof vessel. Let it glow for about 15 minutes until it is covered with white ash. Then add 1 to 2 pinches with an incense spoon. Enjoy the scent as if smelling a flower, do not inhale it. If it starts to smell burnt, lift the remains off with the spoon and smother them in the sand.
