Top: Cardamom, Citrus
Middle: “Palo Santo”, Violet, Saffron
Base: Smoke, Wood, Sandalwood, Amber

🔊 For years, the over-harvesting of Palo Santo to keep up with Western demand has led to deep concerns of its ability to regenerate robustly. While the tree matures relatively quickly (50-70 years compared to the hundreds of years others in the arboreal world take), the only way to get the full benefit of this tree is by letting it die naturally, and allowing it a 4-10 year resting period on the forest floor. This is where the resin forms, the scent associated with Palo Santo.

Smudging is an ancient and sacred Indigenous ritual meant to purify and cleanse the soul and the spaces surrounding it (different than smoke cleansing). This ceremony is performed using medicinal herbs and plants. Once lit, it produces a thick smoke that carries energetic and spiritual importance. Palo Santo in Spanish is “holy stick”. This fragrance is infused with natural essential oils including elemi and does not contain any Palo Santo.
