If you’ve been into a Buck Mason store you know they have a distinct scent – it’s a clean, woody, earthy smell with sweet undertones of vanilla or citrus.
I really like it so I asked one of their associates what it came from and they told me they burn palo santo, which is a naturally aromatic wood native to South America.
It was traditionally used by Indigenous communities for spiritual ceremonies, and is believed to clear negative energy – similar to sage in North American traditions.
To burn it you light one end on fire, hold it at a 45 degree angle and let it burn for about 30 seconds, blow it out gently, and then waft it around a bit before laying it down in a dish to burn out naturally.
I got mine at a local flea market but you can also find it on etsy.
