Palo Santo Cones

Pack of 6 cones

The Palo Santo cones are made from the wood of the burseora graveolens tree, a plant from South America, mainly found in Ecuador, widely used for its properties and the pleasant smell it emits when burned. The Palo Santo is 100% natural and sustainable as it is obtained from fallen trees, attacked by parasites and not treated in any way.

Why Choose the Cone Format

The Palo Santo incense cones are made by compacting the wood chips of Palo Santo into cone shape, making them very easy to use. Unlike the Palo Santo sticks that often go out, the cones light up immediately and burn without issues.

The characteristic of the cones is to provide a more intense fragrance than the sticks, as the wood is already shredded in the cones. Just like tea bags are stronger than loose leaf tea. So, if you have a large space, a room, or a workplace where you need an immediate effect, the cones are perfect for you. On the contrary, a single fumigation of the sticks has a shorter duration since, being wood a non-combustible material, it goes out on its own after a few minutes of lighting. Also, if the live flame is accidentally left on, all the resin in the stick would burn, making its use pointless.
