It has a tenacious scent that is resinous, sweet, and woody all at the same time, with hints of citrus notes that weave in and out of the complex aroma. Palo santo oil is almost a blend in of itself, which makes it a beautiful addition to personal perfumes, energy or space work, and body care products. Once distilled, this oil is comprised of at least 50% limonene, the same constituent found in most [citrus oils](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/citrus-essential-oils?hsLang=en-us). Palo santo is considered calming and grounding, yet energetic, and is associated with the first and seventh chakras. This dual use fits perfectly with its complex aroma. When working with [palo santo essential oil](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/palo-santo-essential-oil/profile), we recommend blending in a well-ventilated space. This oil has a very strong aroma. It blends well with resin-derived oils like [frankincense](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/frankincense-essential-oil/profile) and [myrrh](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/myrrh-essential-oil/profile), [citrus oils](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/mandarin-essential-oil/profile), and florals like [lavender](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/lavender-essential-oil/profile) and [helichrysum](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/helichrysum-essential-oil/profile).
