Peruvian Palo Santo

Palo Santo is a revered and sacred wood with a bright and unmistakable scent — traditionally used to clear space and uplift energy.

Harvested in Peru through the 1980s, our Palo Santo is sourced exclusively from an old, stockpile of aged wood. All Subtle Bodies incense sticks are pure wood products with no added perfume or fragrance. Each burns with a distinct, yet delicately scented smoke trail.

As part of our commitment to sustainability, we have elected to use only old-harvest wood for our incense. By the nature of its history and quality, a spectacularly good incense is produced—a rare product we are incredibly proud to share.

Palo Santo, which means "holy wood" in Spanish, is a sacred tree native to South America, primarily found in countries such as Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia. It holds significant cultural and spiritual importance among various indigenous communities in the region. With a history dating back centuries, it is long intertwined with rituals, traditional medicine, and spiritual practice. As with any sacred plant or resource, it is essential to approach its use with respect, cultural sensitivity, and a commitment to sustainability.
