Specialty Incense Palo Santo Cones

Palo santo cones give you the holy wood without the wrestling match. Anyone who has tried to keep a stick of palo santo lit knows it goes out roughly every ninety seconds, which is charming exactly once. A cone burns steady from tip to base, releasing that warm, sweet, resinous smoke with the citrus edge underneath, and it is done in about fifteen minutes. Light one when you come home carrying a day you do not want to bring inside, before a reading, or at the start of a meditation to mark the change in the room. Sold as a single box.

What Is In It

Hand formed from Bursera graveolens, the palo santo tree of the South American dry forests. It is a botanical cousin of frankincense and myrrh, and the resin is what carries the scent.

What It Means

Palo santo has been used in cleansing, prayer, and healing work across indigenous South American traditions for centuries. Its reputation is for clearing stagnation and inviting calm rather than for forceful banishing, which makes it the one to reach for when a space feels stale rather than hostile. It is traditionally associated with the Sun and the element of Fire.

Try It With

Burn them in an Abalone Shell or the Iron Charcoal Burner with Lid. Palo Santo Essential Oil gives you the same scent on the days you cannot burn anything. More in our incense collection.

Safety

Burn on a heat-safe holder in a ventilated room. Never leave burning incense unattended, keep it away from children, pets, and anything flammable, and let ash cool fully before disposal.
