Palo Santo

Palo Santo has a warm, woody, and slightly sweet aroma with resinous, smoky, and creamy undertones. Its scent feels calming and spiritual, combining soft balsamic warmth with a gentle citrus nuance. It adds depth and serenity, often used to create grounding and meditative fragrance compositions.

Chemistry and Molecular Structure

Palo Santo’s scent is dominated by limonene, along with terpenes that contribute to its woody and citrusy character. These compounds create a smooth, diffusive aroma with both freshness and warmth. Its chemical composition allows it to function as a grounding and long-lasting base note.
