ÇaFleureBon Palo Santo in Perfumery “Holy Tree” + 11 Sacred Wood Prizes

Palo Santo Tree by Karo Rane©

Palo Santo means Holy Wood and it brings light, peace and healing in its four uses or forms. The essential oil is redolent of citrus and pine, sweetness and light, golden woods in a bottle. When burned as a smudge the fragrance is overlain with a hint of smoky resin. The wood itself, left on a shelf or in a drawer, releases a sweet balsamic, coniferous fragrance. And the resin is all of that wrapped up in incense.

The recent Talisman project organized by Editor-in-Chief Michelyn Camen brought Palo Santo front and center as its spiritual and healing nature was incorporated into three protective perfumes created to mark the 7th anniversary of ÇaFleureBon.

Become the Shaman art by Dawn Spencer Hurwitz

The beautifully-named Become the Shaman by Dawn Spencer Hurwitz of DSH Perfumes was created to “invoke the gentlest of spirits, weaving a protective spell of indigenous woods, plants and resins from across the Americas into a woody cocoon of light incense, resins and sap.” Her use of Palo Santo as an olfactory security blanket helps the wearer develop their internal peace and power."

Ellen Covey of Olympic Orchids describes her perfume Hamsa and by extension Palo Santo as a combination of the tangible (oil and wood) and intangible (smoke). Showing a deep knowledge of the botanical itself and its protective properties, Ellen brings out the beauty of the wood to honor the protective Hamsa symbol.

Christi as High Priestess

Antimony by Christi Meshell of House of Matriarch adds the beauty of Palo Santo to her complex formulation that honors the ancient use of antimony as protection. Its use to obscure or darken the eyes is thought to ward off evil.  Palo Santo appears among the resins and woods of this complex formulation in honor of beauty and protection.

The Incantation (The HolyWood) byPaul Serusier,1891

Also called “Wood of the Saints” Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens) has been held holy in Central and South America since the time of the Incas when they sent the sacred smoke into the air to purify and protect. As Western religion was brought to the region in the form of Spanish monks they appreciated its spiritual properties and gave it the name Palo Santo.

The trees may grow to be 90 years old in the dry forests of places like Zapotillo in southern Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands, Mato Grosso in Brazil, Coastal Peru, and the Gran Chaco region of South America. In its native forests the Palo Santo tree plays a protective role and may help these threatened areas to recover. These are dry forests where rainfall is between 40 to 80 inches per year, the climate is tropical, and endemic plants and local wildlife find homes. Like frankincense and myrrh, these sacred trees are most comfortable on the edges and in the difficult spots like dry ridges and rocky soils where they respond to environmental challenges by developing valuable healing resins.

Fire Ants wikipedia

Unlike frankincense and myrrh trees where the bark is scored and the resin drips down, the Palo Santo tree must die naturally and age in place. As the tree lies on the ground, in contact with the soil, exposed to sun, wind, rain, and the life of the forest, it produces the holy resin. Only after at least four years (and more like ten) does the wood develop the golden and sweet resin that may be distilled or simply burned as incense. This alchemical process of death followed by spiritual giving is recognized and valued by shamans and healers of the region. Ethical harvesters and distillers honor the process, leaving the wood to age on the ground until it is ready. By this point the aggressive fire ants that protect living trees will have moved on. The ants live within the soft wood of the tree, feeding on its secretions, and protecting the tree from anything that may damage it. These fire ants will often provide a clear area around the tree to limit competition from other trees. Also used as punishment by local villagers, offenders may be tied to a palo santo tree to suffer painful attacks by the ants.

In addition to the research I usually conduct, some of the wisdom of palo santo came to me through stories in the oral tradition. Marcus McCoy of House of Orpheus has studied shamanism, having worked with a Bolivian shaman for six years, and he spent some time talking with me about palo santo and its place in the healing and magical traditions of Central and South America.  He says,"Native healers, also known as curanderos, use palo santo in much the same way shamans of the southwest use cedar. With reverence for the intelligence and spirit of the wood they can help with serious illnesses, curses, nightmares, and bad luck. A person who has been attacked or possessed by evil spirits will seek out a curandero to drive out the malignant spiritual force. Marcus mentioned the increased popularity of the wood and essential oil as spiritual tourism has brought people into contact with it but also a shift away from recognition of the sacred spirituality of the wood and the alchemy of the oil."

Palo Santo is in the Burseraceae family as are frankincense, myrrh, and copal—other trees with healing and fragrant resins. All exhibit both mystical and physical healing properties. This wood of the saints is highly valued for its spiritual properties, mainly for cleansing a person’s energy field preparatory for meditation or prayer. Clearing negative energies and doing away with evil spirits, Palo Santo also attracts those people who are spiritually at peace. Mexican shamans would combine palo santo with resin from Datura and Tagetes (two psychoactive plants) which they would burn to protect themselves from black magic. The wood has long been burned in and around homes to repel insects and the bark may be made into a tea for immune system support.

For such a peace-giving and calming plant, the oil can actually be fairly assertive and difficult to use in perfumery, even in its balsamic sweetness. The fragrance is generally reminiscent of aged pine or fir trees with a hint of citrus and mint with, perhaps, a touch of fennel or anise. In fact, the trees themselves may give off an anise-like aroma in their groves in the dry forests of Peru and Ecuador. The essential oil has a high portion of terpenes and sesquiterpenes and may be valuable for stomach problems, muscle aches, respiratory issues, and headaches. Healing to the skin as well, the resins may also be worked into healing formulations for arthritis and joint pain. Wood shavings may be used to make teas for digestive aids or immune support. In any form, extracts of Palo Santo are quite anti-inflammatory for a variety of uses.

For those who appreciate the value of smudging, find a vendor that sells ethically harvested pieces of palo santo wood for your use. Smudging helps to purify and cleanse a personal space, whether it is a home, office, or even your body using the alchemy of fragrant wood transformed to smoke. With a fireproof bowl to hand, light your piece of wood and hold it upright as the flames take hold. After a minute or two blow out the fire and place the wood in the bowl as it releases the smoke. Or you may move with it through the space you want to smudge, visualizing the smoke taking away any negative energies.

The essential oil provides a more personal experience. Take a bit of Palo Santo essential oil, put a drop in your hands, rub gently together, place them over your face and inhale. You may feel your breath deepen and slow as you put away your cares and find your internal spot of peace.

  • Thank you for this interesting article and giveaway.
    It was interesting to know that Palo Santo has protective mystic and properties.
    I’ve never test natural parfum.
    I am from Armenia.
    I would like to have Become the Shaman and Agua Nativa.

  • BethMongold says:

    I love palo santo and am familiar with using it in ceremonial/ ritual context. I did not realize it was in the same family as frankincense, myrrh and copal. My choices are: Agua Nativa; Antimony; Become the Shaman; Santo Incienso-Sillage Sacre. Thank you! I live in Colorado, USA.

  • I did not know about the symbiotic relationship between fire ants and palo santo. I guess if you’re in need of a friend, fire ants would be a good one!
    I would pick the Belle Fleur Palo Santo candle, Hamsa or the Mermade Japanese cup and Palo Santo incense.
    I’m in the US.

  • Being tied to a palo santo Tree and being eaten alive by fire ants really sounds gruesome. I learned what smudging is and really I am now interested in this.
    I am in the US
    I would be thrilled with agua nativa, the different company santo Incienso, Antimony and the belle fleur candle

  • VerbenaLuvvr says:

    Of course only a tree that lives its life on the margins and overcomes adversity would produce a wood and resin of such value. I would be grateful for the chance to try Agua Nativa, Become the Shsman, Hamsa, or Palo Alti wood and fruit oils. I live in the US.

  • Sorry, I meant to add to the above, that I am in US.

    I love the scent of burning Palo Santo! That beautiful lemony smell that lingers so long in the room after burning is so beautiful. I have never however smelled it in perfumery or yet tried it’s use as an essential oil for it’s therapeutic properties, but plan to. I am wondering how it mingles with the other perfume ingredients given it’s strength. One fact that I didn’t know about regarding the Palo Santo Tree was that it doesn’t produce it’s resin until after it dies. That is really something! I plan to research that a bit more. I am thankful for this opportunity! The products which I am drawn to are as follows: Belle Fleur Candle, Sillage Sacre, Lingua Franca, Hamsa, Agua Nativa.

  • ntabassum92 says:

    So fascinating how in perfumery Palo Santo is used for protection. And then in nature, fire ants digesting the wood then protect the wood. Everything coming full circle, and the wood providing protection for itself through ants, is really cool. I’m in the US. I would choose:

    1. Antimony
    2. Agua Nativa
    3. Belle Fleur candle
    4. Hamsa
    5. Become the Shaman
    6. Incensum
    7. Palo Santo and Incense Cup
    8. Palo Santo Gri Gri
    9. Different Company Santo Incensio
    10. Lingua Franca
    11. Rising Phoenix Perfumes Oils

  • Very neat write up on palo santo! I had no idea harvesting palo santo took so long and that the tree actually has to die first. It kind of reminds me of how aquilaria trees need to be infected in order for agarwood to form. It’s remarkable how these sort of things just happen naturally and they end up smelling so incredible. My choices: Hamsa, Antimony, Incensium, Gri Gri Palo Santo Sticks, Mermade Arts cup/incense, Belle Fleur candle, or Mik Moi Lingua Franca. In the US!

  • I knew Palo Santo was and is considered a sacred wood with a connection to shamanism. I was not aware that it could be used for smudging, to “purify and protect”. I am in the US and would choose:

    Agua Nativa
    Antimony
    Palo Santo Candle

  • kaitracid says:

    Learned that the Palo Santo tree plays a protective role and may help these threatened areas to recover and that they can grouw up tp 90 years old, that’s a lot!

    What I would like to win (Europe):
    Parfumeurs du Monde Agua Nativa
    Olympic Orchids Hamsa
    House of Matriarch Antimony

  • It was a wonderful article. Once I tried a Palo Santo perfume, and I loved it very much, it was so calming and unique. I learned some new things from the article, and it is really good.
    My choices:
    – Parfumeurs du Monde for 30 ml of Agua Nativa ALL NATURAL
    – 15 ml of Hamsa
    – 15 ml of House of Matriarch Antimony
    Thank you for the chance. I live in Europe.

  • marcopietro says:

    Very interesting review!I’m fascinated by palo santo role in shamanism and magical traditions of Central and South America. I dont know the really smell of natural palo santo wood, but the description of its effluence and use is suggestive.
    My choices are:
    Parfumeurs du Monde Agua Nativa
    House of Matriarch Antimony
    The Different Company Santo Incienso-Sillage Sacre.
    Thank you! I live in Italy.

    I believe in the healing power of palo santo and often use it for smudging. I like that’s these trees are most comfortable on the edges, in difficult spots. I pray to have that resilience.
    My choices if I were the winner are:
    Augua Nativa
    Hamsa
    Santo Incienso
    Antimony
    Become the Shaman

    I live in the USA.

  • zazazelle says:

    I am planning to buy some palo santo sticks to try out its magic properties and, of course, I want to know how it smells (citrusy? i cannot imagine…). The description and legends around Palo Santo sounds truly inspiring and calming at the same time. I loved how it is said here: “popularity of the wood and essential oils as the SPIRITUAL TOURISM”, but at the same time I think such things are sacred and not for everyone in trivial world. I wish I could travel through spiritual worlds with a magic help of spiritual vehicles: ANTIMONY, first of all (I love House of Matriarch, Christi is genius!), then I am interested also in AGUA NATIVA, HAMSA and BECOME THE SHAMAN. I live in Europe (EU). Thank you very much for this opportunity!

  • What a beautiful post. I can smell the Pal Santo from here ! No need to include me in the draw, though.

  • Surprising that there are so many ways to use palo santo from the oil to the incense. I don’t think I have smelled it so the description of citrus and pine, balsamic and resin sounds beautiful. I am very interested in smudging and cleansing one’s space or injury
    I live in the US and would love the different co santo Incienso, mermade magical arts incense and bowl, Antimony, and Agua nativa

  • Lellabelle says:

    Spiritual cleansing and protection is a gift indeed 🙂

    What a well researched and informative article. The story of palo santo and it’s journey to harvest is as beautiful as the essence itself. And what a beautiful metaphor for rebirth. I can see why it is so revered by shamans and those seeking peace, healing and enlightenment.

    I am in need of some spiritual calm and protection! Please include me for the generous draw. US please. My choices are: Agua Nativa, Belle Fleure palo santo candle and the Mermade Japanese cup with incense sticks.

    Thank you so much to all the artisans who have so generously shared their palo santo creations.

  • RoseMacaroon says:

    This was such a fantastic read, I just want to thank you big time for that. I had no idea about the physiological i.e. anti-inflammatory properties of Palo santo, so that is really cool to know. If I won anything in the draw i’d be pretty much beside myself, but to play by the rules I will mention DSH Become the Shaman and gri-gri sticks for smudging. I’m in the US.
    Thanks again for such a beautifully done acknowledgement of Palo Santo, love this artistically rendered information!

  • Wow, I love that painting by Paul S. And I actually bought some palo santo sticks a little while ago, how ironic!! I didn’t know this extra information about palo santo, cool to read it. I like how this site always has things to learn on it, you know? That’s my favorite part sometimes.

    I would love to try some scents in this vein, like Antimony by Christi Meshell of House of Matriarch, or Agua Nativa, or Hamsa. I’m the USA.

    And I love the inclusion of old paintings in the articles, art is so amazing and diverse, I like how different every piece of art is.

  • I didnt know is was used in ceremonies. Sandlwood is also considered holy in India.
    I will love:
    Parfumeurs du Monde for 30 ml of Agua Nativa ALL NATURAL
    The Different Company Santo Incienso – Sillage Sacré
    Become the Shaman
    Hamsa
    Palo Santo Candle

    2. Agua Nativa
    3. Belle Fleur candle
    4. Hamsa
    5. Become the Shaman
    6. Incensum

  • I learned that Palo Santo is related to other resinous species of plants like frankincense and myrrh. The essential oils of the palo santo are collected from the seasoned, dead wood and not from the live pitch like frankincense. I would love to win Hamsa, Antimony, Become the Shaman,Santo Incienso – Sillage Sacré, Aqua Nativa, Palo Santo wood and fruit oil. I live in the US. Thank you so much.

  • Thank you for such a great article. I was particularly interested in its use in shamanic practices of healing. I would love to win any of these great perfumes

  • Thanks so much for a great review. The Talisman project Michelyn organized indeed bought the spiritual and healing nature of Palo Santo to all our attention’. I especially enjoyed the depth of the review in expressing the spiritual nature and use of Palo Santo by indiginous peoples. In this age of agression in so many places its paramount to explore the nature of peace in whatever forms it may come it.We need to share more of this knowlege. A generous draw, thank you all the creators. It indeed is an awesome ‘material’ to work with. I live in NZ. My choices are below.

    1) Agua Nativa
    2) Become the Sharman
    3) Hamsa
    4) Antimony
    5) 1ml Palo Santi Wood Oil + 1mL Palo Santo Fruit Oil
    6) Gri Gri Palo Santo Sticks

  • Interesting that the resins are harvested from a dead tree. I always admire those brave trees that cling to next to nothing in harsh environments. I love incense, I am wearing Tauerville Incense Flash now. Maybe it’s that I’m drawn to visit every old Catholic church I can. I would love to win:
    Different Company Santo Inciensio
    Solstice Scents for Incensium
    Gri Gri Palo Santo Sticks
    Lingua Franca
    Palo Santo candle
    Thanks for the great draw. Info and amazing art work. I live in the U.S.

  • I’m personally a fan of smudging with Palo Santo. I even have some on my desk at work (although I cannot light it here). It is a great cleansing tool and it was interesting to learn about how the tree must die naturally. That gives the wood even more spirit in my opinion than it could possibly have otherwise. I like the history behind the wood and would definitely love to try some of the fragrances that have used it. My picks are:

    Belle Fleur Fragrances Palo Santo Candle
    Parfumeurs du Monde Agua Nativa ALL NATURAL
    Become the Shaman by DSH
    Olympic Orchids for 15 ml of Hamsa
    Santo Incienso – Sillage Sacré
    Lingua Franca

    I’m in the US and registered. Thank you.

  • For the first time I got familiar with Palo Santo here with CafleureBon. Thank you for all valuable information.
    I never smelled Palo Santo and I have no idea about that. That would be great if I have chance of wining one of the following:

  • Thanks for this terrific draw! I confess, I knew next to nothing about Palo Santo, but what really surprised me is that it had to die and rest for so long to surrender it’s resin — not to mention the fact that people could be punished by being tied to it and bitten by fire ants! Yikes! This article is another beauty by Elise Pearlstine. Fab, as ever! All the prizes look wonderful but the ones that jumped out at me are as follows (oh, and I live in the U.S.), in order:

    Parfumeurs du Monde – Agua Nativa

  • Latifah Scott says:

    I have been looking for a fragrance with the essence of Palo Santo, so I’m glad to have come upon this article. I appreciate that the protective properties and uses were included in the article. I was not aware that the tree had to be left for so many years before completely developing the resins. I am very interested in trying Hamsa, Santo Incienso, Solstice Scents for Incensium, , Antimony, and/or the classical Japanese cup with Palo Santo sticks. I would also love to try Agua Nativa… I love that name.. Thanks for the draw.

  • i love the balsamic scent of Palo santo and love to blend it with Tuberose. it was an interesting read and i didn’t know about the harvesting method and the ants living from the trees.
