ABOUT

Palo Santo smells of sweet, resinous wood with bright citrus and a faint minty‑camphor lift that settles into warm, frankincense‑like balsam and a subtle smoky, pine‑tinged undercurrent. It evokes ritual cleansing, sun‑drenched coastal forests and meditative incense, bridging freshness and sacred warmth. In perfumery it is used as a heart‑to‑base note to impart luminous, spiritual resinous warmth—pairing well with frankincense, benzoin, cedar, sandalwood, citrus and aromatic herbs—to add smoky sweetness and contemplative depth without overpowering a composition.
