Palo Santo

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Carner Barcelona Palo Santo

Palo Santo is Carner Barcelona’s beloved woody gourmand, capturing the sacred energy of holy wood through refined Spanish niche perfumery, and our version keeps that meditative character.

The Story Behind the Scent

Released in 2015 and crafted by Shyamala Maisondieu, Carner Barcelona Palo Santo is a woody gourmand built around rum, guaiac wood, milk, tonka bean and vanilla, capturing the sacred aromatic essence of the holy wood used by South American shamans for centuries.

Our interpretation captures the same iconic sacred wood signature, rebuilt at 40 percent perfume oil concentration so the boozy opening, the creamy gourmand heart and the refined woody base last on skin for many hours.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a luxury eau de parfum sold at high pricing. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration and sell direct, so you get the same character for a fraction of the price.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a warm boozy woody gourmand scent and wants a luxury style fragrance without the high price.

Notes

Top notes: Rum, Artemisia

Heart notes: Guaiac Wood, Tonka Bean

Base notes: Vanilla, Sandalwood

How it Smells

The opening is immediately warm and slightly boozy, smooth rum laced with aromatic artemisia for a refined, ceremonial introduction.

The heart introduces the soul of the fragrance, creamy milk, sacred guaiac wood and warm tonka bean creating a refined gourmand woody character.

The dry-down settles on rich vanilla, smooth sandalwood, vetiver and cedarwood, lingering with sophisticated, slightly sweet, deeply meditative woody depth.
