Built like a perfume, with top, heart and base notes: fresh, intense rose petals sharpened by iris root and rhubarb. The maker calls it a madeleine de Proust, the rose bushes of your childhood.
Key Features
- Seven ingredients. 100% natural, and all of them named.
- Hand-rolled. Made in the South-West of France.
- Vegan. No animal fats.
- Quantity. 25 sticks per box, at 45 minutes of burn each.
Pūrē Standard
- Seven ingredients, and as the maker puts it, that is all. Sandalwood powder, rose petal powder, iris root powder, rhubarb powder, rose essential oil, guar gum and water. That full disclosure is the reason we brought it in: almost nothing else in this category will tell you what is in the stick.
- The flower is the actual flower. Ground rose petals and real rose essential oil, rather than fragrance sprayed onto a blank bamboo core, which is how most incense is made.
- Rose essential oil, not a rose accord. Real rose oil is one of the most expensive materials in perfumery, which is why almost every rose incense on the market is synthetic.
- Guar gum as the binder. A plant gum doing the job that synthetic binders usually do, with water as the only other input.
- Forty-five minutes per stick. Roughly double a standard stick, so a box of 25 lasts.
- Handmade, so batches vary. Expect slight differences in appearance and burn. We would rather that than uniformity.

Our Take
Rose that smells like an actual garden rather than a bathroom air freshener, with iris root and rhubarb keeping it tart and grown up. Proof that rose does not have to mean potpourri.

Fresh, intense rose petals accentuated by iris root and rhubarb, closer to a garden than a perfume counter.

How long does each stick burn, and how many are in a box?
45 minutes per stick, with 25 sticks per box, roughly double a standard incense stick.
