Tribal Incense Stick – Pure Palo Santo Scent
Palo santo is the sacred South American wood known for its sweet, citrusy and resinous fragrance. This hand-rolled Indian stick presents the essence of palo santo in pure form, without any blending, so the distinctive character of the wood can be fully appreciated. Tribal's palo santo masala stick is made without a bamboo core — providing a cleaner burn and a fuller fragrance experience. The sacred wood, rooted in Peruvian, Ecuadorian and shamanic traditions, is now available in a convenient new format: easy to handle, no need to coax a wood chip into burning.

Scent Profile
The palo santo scent is sweet, mildly citrusy and warmly resinous — light and luminous on the first breath, with deeper notes (cinnamon-like resin, gentle smoke) unfolding gradually. Neither heavy nor sharp, this is one of the most accessible ritual fragrances for European audiences. Recommended for cleansing, meditation, yoga and everyday atmosphere-setting.
How to Use
Place the stick in a stable holder, light the tip, wait a few seconds, then blow out the flame. The smouldering stick burns for approximately 30–45 minutes. Fragrance diffuses best in a well-ventilated room. Particularly recommended for morning rituals, before meditation and for space clearing.
Why Choose This?
Palo santo is one of the world's most popular and beloved ritual scents — anyone new to it can discover its character through this stick format. Those already familiar with it will appreciate finding their favourite fragrance in a convenient, bamboo-free form. Tribal's hand-rolled masala format provides a longer and more even burn than thin Indian stick formats.
Tips

- Can be combined with traditional palo santo wood pieces: light the wood first, then continue with the masala stick.
