This rare palo santo oil is distilled in small quantities from ecologically and sustainably harvested wood gathered in the Machalilla Park on Ecuador's Pacific coast. It has a fine citrus aroma with underlying notes of frankincense, its close relative. This extraordinary aromatic tree is widely used in the traditional ethno-botanical systems of South America, especially by the shamans of the Andes.
For every liter of Palo Santo oil purchased through Gaia Perfumes, our supplier donates $25 to help replant these endangered trees; for every $25 donation, one hundred and fifty trees are planted.
