Palo Santo Sticks 1 kg Sack

Light the end and the room changes slowly: warm wood, a soft thread of sweetness, smoke curling upward for a quiet pause. These Palo Santo wood sticks from Peru are made for simple ritual smoke, gentle fragrance and moments when you want to slow the pace of the day.

The scent as it warms

• The fragrance is woody and warm, with a light sweet edge that appears as the smoke begins to soften.
• It is milder than white sage, so it suits people who prefer a gentler ritual scent.
• The act of lighting it creates a natural pause before meditation, journalling, yoga or settling a room in the evening.
• Each stick is a piece of natural wood, so the burn, shape and scent intensity can vary from one to the next.
• The generous sack suits regular use, shared spaces or anyone who likes to keep Palo Santo close at hand.

Palo Santo wood from Peru

These sticks are made from Palo Santo wood from Peru. The wood is left simple and natural, with the character of a raw aromatic material rather than a polished decorative object.

How to burn it gently

Hold one end to a flame until it catches, then blow it out so the tip glows and releases smoke. Move it slowly through the space, or place it in a heatproof bowl or incense holder while it smoulders.

Use in a well-ventilated room and never leave burning wood unattended. Keep it away from fabrics, children, pets and draughts.

Where the ritual comes from

Palo santo means ‘holy wood’. In South American Indigenous traditions, fragrant smoke from the wood has been used ceremonially for centuries. In contemporary homes, many people use it more simply: for its warm natural scent, the visible curl of smoke, and the brief ritual of stopping what they are doing. It is best treated with respect, as a cultural material with meaning as well as fragrance.

Size and what you receive

This sack contains 1000 g of Palo Santo sticks, with approximately 138 sticks inside. Individual sticks are approximately 8-15 cm long and weigh around 4-11 g each. As this is a natural weight-based pack, the exact number, size and shape of the sticks can vary.

A thoughtful gift for ritual lovers

It makes a considered gift for someone who already burns Palo Santo, enjoys incense rituals, or likes natural fragrance in the home. The larger sack is especially suited to regular practice rather than occasional use.

Common questions

Does Palo Santo burn like an incense stick?
No. Palo Santo is a piece of aromatic wood, so it usually smoulders after lighting rather than burning continuously like a coated incense stick. Re-light it when you want more smoke.

How should I store it?
Keep the sticks dry and away from damp, as moisture can make natural wood harder to light. Store them in the sack or a dry container between uses.
