The copal resin has been used by the ancient cultures of Central America for centuries in cleansing smoke ceremonies. Its piney, lemony aroma brings freshness and lightness into a room. This essential oil blend brings the character of copal close to home aroma diffusion, without smoke or soot.
The main notes of the profile
Clean piney and lemony notes lead the aroma, supported by a fine, gently sweet resinous base. Copal feels uplifting overall: light and clear, like a soft morning breeze even in the middle of a grey day.
How to place it into daily life
Add a few drops to the upper bowl of an oil burner with water, or directly to an ultrasonic diffuser. Before a morning coffee, a long stretch or a yoga practice you will appreciate its presence. A drop or two on an aroma stone make a fresh companion on a desk or in a study.
When to reach for the copal aroma
It is most welcome when you wish to refresh a stuffy room, or to start a more energetic day. After a move, after thorough cleaning, or during recovery from a longer illness it is a kind choice. It also gently supports a morning meditation by easing the breath.
Where it comes from and what it contains
The blend is made in India, building on the country's Ayurvedic aroma tradition. It contains natural essential oils that comply with the IFRA standard, in a 10 ml glass bottle inside a cardboard box.
Storage and safe use
Keep it in a cool, dark place; after opening, the aroma stays fine for around two years. Keep out of reach of children and pets, and only use it in a well ventilated room. Do not apply directly onto the skin. If you have allergies, consult a specialist before use.
