The smell comes from the Palo Santo wood that grows in South America. It’s a special kind of wood for its smoke purifies the environment when you burn it. The fragrance is earthly and natural, but mystic at the same time.

Palo Santo literally means holy wood and, just like white sage, it originates from the native Indians in South America.

In Europe people choose to buy the holy wood to clean their houses or just for the fragrances in its purest form.
