Pure Palo Santo Incense - Authentic Essence
There's something to be said for purity: this is simply pure Palo Santo - but in a handy incense form. The scent you get is authentic: fresh and woody, with that slight citrus undertone and a hint of pine resin. It's the scent that has been used in South American ceremonies for generations, unchanged and powerful. When you light this incense, you experience exactly what indigenous communities have known for centuries.
The Palo Santo in these sticks comes from Ecuador, collected by communities that have a direct relationship with Sagrada Madre. They only take branches that have fallen naturally and have rested in the ground for at least four years - that aging time is crucial for the concentration of essential oils that give Palo Santo its character. The sticks are hand-rolled with only natural fruit-based binders, so nothing disturbs the pure scent of the wood.
Palo Santo literally means "holy wood," and that name wasn't chosen randomly. In the traditions where it comes from, it's used to purify spaces, bring calm, attract positive energy. Not through mystical powers, but through what the wood does with the atmosphere in a space. The scent has a calming effect, creates clarity, provides a sense of wellbeing for everyone who comes into contact with it. This pure version lets you experience that in its most direct form.
What makes this incense special: The purity. This is Palo Santo in its most authentic form, as it has been used for centuries. For those seeking the original experience without additions, or for those who find other varieties too complex. Sagrada Madre contributes to reforestation and uses recyclable materials.
What Does It Smell Like?
✧ Pure Palo Santo
This is the scent against which all other Palo Santo combinations are measured. Fresh and clear, with that unmistakable woody base and slight citrus tones - think lime peel and pine wood. There's also something sweet in it, almost caramel-like, that comes from the natural resins in the wood. The scent is powerful but not overwhelming, clear but not harsh. It's a scent that creates space - literally, the air feels different after you've burned it.
How Do You Use This Incense?
Pure Palo Santo is versatile. Light it for meditation, yoga, or simply when you want to reset your home. After a busy day, before guests arrive, when your space feels different than you'd like. It works quickly - light it, let it burn, blow out the flame. Each stick burns for approximately 50 minutes, but 5 to 10 minutes is usually enough to feel the effect. The scent spreads quickly and lingers subtly.
Some people walk through their home with the smoke, others just let it burn in one place. Both work. When you're finished, extinguish the stick in shell sand - the water that the sand carries helps close the moment. This incense is perfect for daily use, for those who want to experience Palo Santo in its purest form, or as a foundation in your collection to which you can add other scents. It's the original on which everything is based.
