Palo Santo, 100% Pure Essential Oil

Irish Apothecary's Own Brand 100% Pure Essential Oil Palo santo (Bursera graveolens) is a tree that’s native to Peru, Ecuador, and other South American countries. It grows in dry tropical forests and produces very fragrant resin. In Spanish, palo santo means “holy wood.” Palo Santo essential oil, derived from the wood of the Bursera graveolens tree, is revered for its unique, complex, and deeply spiritual aroma. This essential oil is often used in spiritual rituals, meditation, and aromatherapy due to its distinctive and therapeutic scent. Here is a detailed description of its aroma profile: Aroma Profile: Top Notes: Fresh and Citrusy: The initial impression of Palo Santo essential oil is fresh and bright, with a subtle citrusy note. This aspect of the aroma is reminiscent of lemon or lime, providing a light and invigorating start to the scent experience. Pine-like: Alongside the citrusy freshness, there is a slight pine-like quality that adds a crisp, clean element to the top notes. This combination gives the oil a refreshing and uplifting opening. Middle Notes: Woody and Earthy: As the top notes dissipate, the aroma transitions to a warm, woody, and earthy character. This part of the scent is rich and grounding, evoking the essence of aged, dry wood and the natural forest floor. Resinous and Balsamic: There are also resinous and balsamic undertones in the middle notes, adding depth and complexity. This resinous quality is sweet and slightly spicy, similar to the scent of incense or aromatic resins. Base Notes: Sweet and Vanilla-like: The base notes of Palo Santo essential oil are sweet and creamy, with a hint of vanilla-like softness. This sweetness provides a smooth, comforting finish to the aroma. Smoky and Mystic: A subtle smoky quality is also present, adding a mystical and spiritual dimension to the scent. This smokiness is not overpowering but rather a gentle, lingering aspect that enhances the oil's overall warmth and depth. Overall Characteristics: Complex and Layered: Palo Santo essential oil is known for its complex and multi-faceted aroma, which unfolds in layers from fresh and citrusy to warm, woody, and sweet. Balancing and Grounding: The scent has a balancing and grounding effect, making it ideal for meditation and spiritual practices. It creates a sense of calm, clarity, and connection to nature. Sacred and Spiritual: Often used in spiritual rituals, the aroma of Palo Santo is deeply evocative of sacred spaces and ancient traditions. It is both cleansing and uplifting, fostering a sense of spiritual well-being.
