Is it like palo santo burned in chips?

Similar scent character, but with finer, more even release. You do not need to prepare chips, just light the stick.

What does 'bamboo-free' mean?

There is no thin wooden core in the middle of the stick, so the entire stick is made of scented mass. Cleaner burn, fewer side scents for you.

Is it recommended for evening or daytime use?

Rather for evening, quiet moments. Many choose it as a companion for meditation or longer reading, similarly to you.

Palo santo, the scent of the 'holy wood'

Palo santo ('holy wood') is the scent of a South American wood species, which is traditionally burned in small pieces. Its warm, sweet-woody, slightly citrusy character is connected by many to clearing a space and accompanying quiet moments. In Nippon Kodo's Japanese interpretation, this scent is available to you in incense stick form as well.

What does bamboo-free technology offer?

There is no thin wooden core in the middle of the stick, which in classic Indian incense would give a 'rope-smoke'-like side scent. Here the entire stick consists purely of plant raw materials, so the character of palo santo comes through more cleanly.

When should you light it?

For evening quietening, journaling, a longer home ceremony, or meditation, we particularly recommend it to you. Many also like to use it as a 'closing' scent after cleaning.

Burn time, correct use

One stick burns for approximately 25–30 minutes. Place it in a heat-resistant holder, light the tip, then blow out the flame. Since there is no bamboo core, the stick is more fragile than usual, so handle it carefully.

For whom do we not recommend it?

For those who prefer fresh, lively, sporty scents, it will likely be too restrained. In case of strong fragrance sensitivity, we suggest you try a short test use.

A small tip for use

The character of palo santo comes through especially beautifully if you light it next to a soft, yellow light. Try a warm-lamp evening session yourself: while reading, journaling, or listening to quiet music, you get a complete experience.

Storage, longevity

Keep the sticks in the original packaging in a cool, dry place, protected from sunlight. This way the scent retains its warm, sweet-woody character for months, and every new stick gives you the same quiet, deep experience.
