Adam Michael has this to say “Palo Santo also known as holy wood is produced by steam distilling the aged wood of Bursera graveolens. The material is clear to light yellow in colour and of a pourable viscosity.
The aroma of Palo Santo can be considerably different from batch to batch I find. Generally though the aroma is of a milky, minty, lactonic and somewhat warm woody resinous character. This particular batch we are adding today (February 2019) is a fresh distillation, very powerful, with decided minty head notes and a milky-lactonic woody heart. Over time this material will mellow and whilst its minty character will lose part of its oomph, its woody heart notes will keep growing in depth and beauty.
Useful for imparting extra milky character within ylang ylang and sandalwood accords, pairs nicely with pemou oil, y-octalactone, coconut aldehyde, and offers interesting effects in trace amounts when added to white floral creations.”

I love this oil because of its properties. This wood is widely used in many spirtual practices and well known as energy cleanses. Smell is quite strong and woody.

Milky with lots of coconut hints but ufcourse it is a woody powerhouse that reminds you its true origin and spirituality

Tricky to work with with as Palo Santo is just such a powerhouse and tends to bloom almost 10 fold in anything I blend it with. I’ve realised he prefers to be alone in my world and used as the clearing/healing medicine traditionally associated with ayahuasca ceremonies and shamanic ritual. Palo Santo can take you beyond if you let him!

Such an mystical beauty this is. Resinous and woody, but also invigoratingly minty and a tad playfully citrus-like. In a few years its minty nature dissipated in favour of this sparkly citrusy resinousness. Milky notes might be there, but do not seem really prominent to me.
