Pau Santo

I wasn't sure about the resin smell at first, but once it burns it's warm and slightly sweet, nothing like the harsh incense I used before. One stick lasts through a whole evening of meditation, and the smoke is surprisingly gentle for cleansing a room.

Burned a stick before guests arrived and the whole room genuinely felt lighter within minutes. The pieces are dense and resinous, so one stick lasted through the entire evening instead of burning out fast like cheaper bundles I've tried.

The sticks light easily and the smoke has that sweet, resiny scent I remember from a trip to Peru. Only gripe is a couple of pieces in the bundle were a bit thin and burned fast. Still, it does the job for clearing a room.
