Palo Santo Spells

Elphaba's second Wicked scent: palo santo, clove, incense and oak moss in a purple jar so dark it reads black.

Palo Santo Spells candle by Voluspa

The question under Palo Santo Spells videos is the obvious one: does it actually smell like palo santo? Nobody has answered it in those threads, so the notes have to speak for it. Voluspa pairs palo santo with crushed clove, smoldering incense and mountain oak moss, a warm, spiced, woody blend that belongs closer to a meditation corner than a kitchen, and a darker turn than Elphaba's first Wicked candle, Bewitching Banyan Forest.

This one is hers for the second film, Wicked: For Good, and the glass changed with her, from emerald to a purple deep enough to pass for black; the mini tin carries her silhouette. Choose the boxed jar (8.5 ounces, $48, rated for 60 hours) or a $17 mini tin, with a matching reed diffuser if you want the scent without a flame.
