All about this fragrance

Vibe check

Indian Grass suits an unhurried pause after a day spent moving through unfamiliar streets. Its green cannabis accord and coriander retain a restless energy, while incense and smoky wood suggest the quiet of finally sitting down, jacket still on, with nowhere else to be.

How to wear

Try it in mild or cool weather, when the green herbs and smoky woods can hold their contrast. Start with one or two sprays on skin rather than a broad application; let the opening settle before adding more. A restrained dose keeps the incense and patchouli from overwhelming the aromatic detail.

Who it’s for

For those drawn to herbal, smoky fragrances with an unconventional edge. It will appeal to wearers who enjoy cannabis accords, dry woods and earthy patchouli, and prefer aromatic complexity with a subtly animalic character to straightforward sweetness.

The nose

Sly John's Lab’s story

Sly John’s Lab follows a “people for people” philosophy: unconventional niche perfumery with an emphasis on quality and accessible pricing. Founded by Serge and Helen Mints, the house favors curious, conversation-starting compositions over familiar fragrance conventions.

Indian Grass’s concept

Indian Grass joined the house’s inaugural seven-fragrance collection. Its product narrative follows a young traveler returning from adventures, memories still vivid and the search for nirvana unfinished. Herbal aromas, woody smoke, spices and patchouli give that restless, contemplative image an olfactory form.

Extra info

The official opening pairs cannabis with peppermint, rhubarb, caraway and cardamom—an unusually varied green-spicy combination. Cannabis is listed as a scent note, not as confirmation that the formula contains cannabis extract, THC or CBD.
