Palo Santo - The holy wood
The Palo Santo, like the frankincense tree, belongs to the balsamic tree family. Its wood has been used for centuries in many ways as incense, medicine, jewellery, etc. Above all, Palo Santo is used in aromatherapy, as it is said to have a relaxing, mood-lifting and concentration-enhancing effect
Perfumer XA has placed the sacred wood here at the heart of the fragrance, surrounded by a sea of flowers and with the sweetness of tonka and amber. Patchouli adds a delicately earthy note and even the incense seems earthy here.
What makes this fragrance special and stands out from the crowd is the liveliness it seems to possess. Often the nose is drawn to the wrist and each time the scent is different and yet not. New facets constantly open up from the play of the soft-creamy Palo Santo with the flowers and the earthy nuances. The sweetness never becomes too much or too intrusive, but blends seamlessly into the harmonious overall picture. XA has even managed to integrate the rose in such a way that I can't say anything negative about it. And I usually don't like rose in fragrances at all. It is even the KO-criterion when a fragrance doesn't make it onto my Goes Not At All list
Xa Palo S does not have a real course. But because of the liveliness of the fragrance this is not tragic.
This fragrance is complex and has depth. Nevertheless, it is easy to wear and should suit every occasion and every gender.
Despite the high temperatures during the test today, I can still feel it well after 7 hours. The Sillage is to the point. Not too much and not too little.
Xa Palo S is definitely worth a test and is, in my opinion, another jewel from the fragrance world that gets far too little attention here.
