The Incense Garden is located in the town of Oeiras, a municipality belonging to the district of Lisbon. This green space is integrated into an area that harmonizes urbanity with the natural elements of the region. Its position offers an environment of tranquility, away from the daily bustle, and invites serene contact with nature, presenting itself as a point of pause and contemplation within the town of Oeiras.
The central characteristic of the Incense Garden lies in its conception oriented towards the sensory experience, with particular emphasis on the sense of smell. The garden's name reflects the intention of selecting botanical species that release distinct and enveloping aromas. By walking through the garden's paths, one can embark on an olfactory journey through a diversity of natural fragrances, which contribute to creating an atmosphere conducive to calm and introspection. This focus on the senses transforms the walk into a moment of appreciation for the perfumed richness that nature provides.
The design of the Incense Garden prioritizes harmony and the fluidity of paths, inviting a leisurely exploration and contemplation. The flowerbeds are carefully arranged, presenting the richness of botanical species through visual and textural compositions that complement the aromatic dimension of the place. It is a space designed for rest and introspection, where the organization of natural elements stimulates attentive observation and appreciation of details. Its design seeks to offer an environment that not only pleases visually but also contributes to a state of tranquility, functioning as a refuge where nature plays a central role.
In the Incense Garden, the selection of plants is determined by their ability to enrich the environment with specific perfumes. It is expected to find a variety of aromatic herbs, such as rosemary, lavender, and thyme, which introduce earthy and herbaceous notes. These are joined by various flowers and shrubs whose inflorescences exude sweet, citrusy, or woody fragrances, evoking the complexity associated with incense. The botanical diversity present aims, therefore, not only for aesthetic appeal but fundamentally to create an olfactory tapestry that stimulates calm and reflection in the heart of Oeiras.
