HEM Copal Palo Santo Incense Sticks (20g)

HEM Copal Palo Santo Incense Sticks pair two long-revered aromatic woods into a single hand-dipped stick, packaged 18-20 to a hexagonal box under HEM's signature wood-grain artwork. Each stick carries a bamboo core wrapped in a fragrant paste, burning down slowly and evenly from the tip to release a warm, resinous smoke that settles into a room rather than overwhelming it. The scent opens with Palo Santo's sweet, citrus-edged wood note before Copal's deeper, amber-toned resin comes through underneath, giving the blend a rounded, sanctuary-like character from first light to last ash.

Copal has long been burned in Mesoamerican ceremony as an offering resin, traditionally associated with purification and connection to the divine, while Palo Santo, literally "holy wood," is commonly used for cleansing negative energy and inviting protective, grounding calm into a space. Together they're traditionally reached for during meditation, spiritual cleansing, or any moment calling for a slower, more centred atmosphere.

Geological Information
Palo Santo is the golden to amber heartwood of Bursera graveolens, a tree native to the seasonally dry tropical forests of Ecuador, Peru, and Central America. Only naturally fallen wood, aged four to ten years before harvest, is used, a resting period essential to developing its aromatic potency from resinous compounds including limonene and cedrol. Copal, the resin that pairs with it here, has its own deep roots in Mesoamerican ceremonial tradition as a sacred offering material. Sourced from Ecuador, Peru, and Central America.

Each product is selected for its quality, character, and aromatic integrity. Natural variation in fragrance intensity, smoke volume, burn character, and resin composition may occur between individual cups and production batches. Burn time is approximate and will vary depending on environmental conditions, airflow, and placement. Every product is inspected to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding. Incense burns down from the tip, dropping hot ash and embers as it goes - place it in a stable, heat-resistant holder away from drafts and flammable materials, and out of reach of children and pets. Never leave burning incense unattended.
