Amor America Palo Santo by Natura

Castor

Palo Santo is the name of a tree (Bulnesia sarmientoi) growing in the norhern part of Argentina, in Paraguay, South of Brazil and South of Bolivia. It is characterized by very aromatic notes: it does share the common notes of any wood accord, but the originality strives in a sharpness that could be described as smokey and subdued, resembling a kind of hesperidic incense.

Amor América Palo Santo is a floral fragrance, so you are right if you guess that Palo Santo's notes play a minor role in the blend. The opening is clearly floral and lineal, the wood accords being more cedar-like than as promissed by the brandname. There are some hints of it in the dry-down, but this is far from what one might expect after smelling Palo Santo's wood, whose notes would make anyone expect out of it the proper choice for an oriental woody rather than a floral.

Contemporary in style, femenine, with good longevity, stays close to the skin, somehow original, obviously not for those into traditional styles.
