Palo Santo Incense Cones by HEM: a box of 10 hand-rolled cones with a small metal stand — sweet, warm, resinous wood. Made in India by HEM; sold by the box.

The Scent

Sweet, warm and resinous wood with a touch of mint and citrus, the scent of the holy wood of South America in a cone.

In Tradition

Palo Santo is burned across Peru and Ecuador to lift a space after it has been cleared. In modern practice many people light it after sage, to bring sweetness back into a room.

What's in the Box

• Count: 10 cones
• Includes a small metal cone stand
• Burn time: about 15–20 minutes a cone
• Made in India by HEM

How to Use It

Set the cone on its metal stand or in a dish of sand on a heat-safe surface. Light the tip, let it flame for five to ten seconds, then blow it out so the point glows; it smokes for fifteen to twenty minutes and leaves a small ash. Open a window a crack. Never leave it burning unattended.

Never leave burning incense unattended. Keep it away from anything that can catch, and out of reach of children and pets. For fragrance only — not for internal use.
