VIRIDIS fragrance sachet is a purifying fragrance sachet for wardrobes and the home, inspired by the ancient use of evergreen branches, woods, roots and resins to scent homes, temples and bath spaces.
VIRIDIS is a little piece of nature’s fragrance library for the home. An almost photorealistic scent experience of forest and forest floor, where fir needle, cedarwood, frankincense and angelica root come together in a green, woody and resinous aroma. An aromatherapeutic experience for the senses that brings a grounding sense of clarity.
Hang or place VIRIDIS amongst your clothes in wardrobes and drawers, where the fragrance sachet also helps to protect against moths. Or use it in the bathroom and other smaller spaces where you want to bring the calming scent of nature indoors.
Karmameju’s fragrance sachets are made from the mineral vermiculite, which slowly and naturally releases the fine fragrances.

Scents of Classical Antiquity
VIRIDIS is inspired by the ancient use of evergreen branches, woods, roots and resins to scent homes, temples and bath spaces. This is why we have used, among other ingredients, cedarwood and frankincense – two aromatic materials that, according to ancient written sources, were popular in precisely these settings.
In Classical Antiquity, perfumes had individual names, much as they do today. Their names were often derived from the place where the perfume originated or from the ingredients that defined its scent. Rhodinum, for example, was a rose-based perfume, while narcissinum took its name from the narcissus flower.
VIRIDIS means green in Latin – a name rooted in plants, growth and nature that captures the fragrance’s green, botanical character.
The design
The design is inspired by ancient glass flacons used for perfumes and oils. Their distinctive pearlescent iridescence inspired the surface of the packaging. A contemporary interpretation rooted in Classical Antiquity.

THE PRODUCT IS VEGAN
Cedarwood A warm, dry woody aroma with notes of freshly planed wood, forest floor and subtly smoky, resinous nuances. Cedarwood was valued in Classical Antiquity for, among other things, its fragrance and was used in temples, palaces and ceremonial settings; in aromatherapy, the scent is associated with grounding, inner strength and mental clarity.
Frankincense A warm, resinous and gently balsamic aroma that was among the precious aromatic materials of Classical Antiquity and was used as incense in temples and religious rituals. In aromatherapy, frankincense is associated with contemplation, mental clarity and inner calm.
Angelica root A distinctive green and earthy aroma with notes reminiscent of aromatic herbs, roots and damp forest floor. In aromatherapy, angelica root is associated with grounding, wellbeing and a sense of renewed energy.
Fir needle A fresh, green and aromatic scent reminiscent of coniferous forests and the pure air of nature. In VIRIDIS, fir needle provides a fresh, vibrant counterpoint to the warm woody notes of cedarwood, the resin of frankincense and the earthy character of angelica root.
Even if you don’t use aromatherapeutic skincare or products for the home, nature still ensures that aromatherapy is all around us. Trees and plants release invisible plant compounds, phytoncides, which research links to lower stress levels and increased activity in the body’s natural defence cells. This is a beautiful account of forest bathing, nature’s aromatherapy and the scientific evidence behind it.
