Perfumer: Dominique Moellhausen
The young traveller returns, memories of adventures still visceral in the mind. The quest for nirvana never satisfied. Relaxing fumes and plumes of woody smoke follow him. Gentle spices, sweet elemi and enriching patchouli tones give a richness to this aromatic green perfume.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of someone who arrives with the dust of the day still on their jacket: close, alert, slightly untamed. Its smoky herbs and resinous woods suit intimate spaces where the air can hold a trace of incense and skin heat, not a loud room.
How to wear
Best in cool to mild weather, where its green smoke and woods can unfold without feeling heavy. Apply lightly to pulse points; one to three sprays is enough for a clear, textured trail. On skin it stays earthy and resinous, while in air the incense and guaiac read drier and more smoky.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like aromatic perfumes with a darker, more unusual twist: green, smoky, resinous and slightly leathery. It will appeal to those who enjoy cannabis accords, incense, patchouli and woods, and prefer character over polish.

Collaborators
Sly John’s Lab founders Serge and Helen Mints shaped the debut collection’s concept and positioning, guiding the brand’s brief for stylish, unconventional fragrances made to intrigue. Moellhausen translated that vision into Indian Grass with its smoky-green, herbal-woody character.
Sly John's Lab’s story
Sly John’s Lab is a young niche house built around accessible creativity: distinctive compositions, modern styling and a deliberately unconventional edge. Its “People for People” ethos frames perfume as something expressive and intriguing rather than formal or exclusive.
Indian Grass’s concept
Indian Grass was created for Sly John’s Lab’s debut collection, developed over two years and released in 2022. The fragrance leans into the image of a traveller returning from the road, carrying the memory of woody smoke, green herbs and a restless, unfinished search for calm.
Extra info
Indian Grass is part of Sly John’s Lab’s seven-fragrance debut collection. Its name and profile center on a cannabis accord, which gives the composition its “forbidden herb” reputation and unusual smoky-green identity.
