About

Palo Santal is a warm embrace of creamy woods, centered around the smooth, almost spiritual scent of sandalwood and palo santo. A whisper of cardamom adds a dry, aromatic spice that brightens the composition, preventing it from leaning too far into conventional "woody" territory. As it settles, a soft, powdery benzoin emerges, wrapping everything in a subtly sweet, balsamic warmth that feels both cosy and sophisticated.
