Palo Santo Pure Essential Oil 5 ml

Damascena's pure, natural Palo Santo essential oil is obtained from the wood of Bursera graveolens. Also known as "Holy Wood", this tree grows in South America. This essential oil comes from Ecuador and is distinguished by its warm, woody fragrance with a slightly sweet note.

Fragrance profile and character

Palo Santo has a distinctive, warm woody fragrance with gentle, slightly sweet and subtly exotic nuances. Its aromatic character combines a pronounced woody note with a soft, pleasant warmth.

As an essential oil, Palo Santo is particularly suited to fragrance compositions that emphasise warm, woody base and heart notes.

The Holy Wood of South America

Bursera graveolens is a South American tree whose aromatic wood is known as Palo Santo. In various indigenous traditions, this wood has long been used in incense-burning ceremonies and ritual purification practices. The rising smoke is traditionally associated with the cleansing of spaces and the accompaniment of spiritual rituals.

The essential oil offers another way to experience the characteristic fragrance of this wood without burning the wood itself as incense.
