What does Palo Santo smell like?

Palo Santo leans on frankincense, patchouli and nagarmotha for an earthy, woody-resinous character. Cardamom adds spice, while cistus brings a warm, lightly sweet tone. Fresh and floral touches soften the weight, yet the smoky side never quite fades.

Longevity and sillage are rated good by those who voted, with most finding the lasting power high, though the sample is small. It sits between masculine and feminine rather than leaning either way. Birkholz Incense N' Fire and L'Artisan Parfumeur Timbuktu have a close profile.
