OLFACTORY DESCRIPTION
An exceptional resinous note, Copal Santo essential oil is piercing, zesty and ethereal when it takes flight. Very quickly, it resembles the terpenic effects of conifers, evoking pine needles, but especially its distant cousin incense. A rich bridge between radiant aromatic notes and deeper, ambery and woody ones, the fragrance stands on its own : a raw olfactory jewel.
