Mothers Fragrances Incense: Our Story
The story of Mothers Fragrances began in August 1975, along the sun-washed Coromandel Coast of South India. In the quiet, palm-lined streets of Pondicherry — once a French colony where Eastern tradition intertwined with European influence — a small group of visionaries from India, America, and the Netherlands came together with a shared intention: to create something beautiful, meaningful, and rooted in purity.
From the start, Mothers was never just a business. It was a meeting of cultures, a circle of friends, and a promise to honour craftsmanship. In a region where scent has long been a language of devotion, celebration, and daily ritual, the team revived the ancient masala method of hand-rolling incense — a slow, mindful process that blends natural resins, herbs, and oils without ever dipping sticks into synthetic perfumes. Each batch was crafted the way artisans had done for generations: patiently, by hand, with respect for the materials and the people who shaped them.
As the incense gained recognition, so did the floral perfume oils that followed — delicate, long-lasting fragrances crafted with the same uncompromising commitment to purity. Customers around the world came to know Mothers not just for the aroma, but for the feeling behind it: authenticity, intention, and gentle beauty.
But the heart of Mothers has always been its people. From the beginning, the company made it a priority to create dignified, meaningful employment for young women in the local community. Each stick rolled became a bridge — offering fair work, creative skill, and financial independence for those who crafted it.
Over the past twenty-five years, Mothers has grown, guided not by mass production but by close relationships with customers across Australia, Europe and North America. These long-standing partnerships have shaped the evolution of every scent, every blend, every refinement. With each suggestion, each shared experience, Mothers has continued to evolve — always seeking to create products that not only smell beautiful but feel genuinely uplifting.
Today, Mothers stands as a testament to what can happen when tradition, care, and community come together. A brand born from a simple idea in a coastal town now carries its fragrance around the world — yet remains deeply connected to its roots.
And with every stick, every bottle, every box, that original intention is still present: to offer something honest, handmade, and infused with purpose.
