Citronella on its own is a summer smell — bright, sharp, faintly like a garden in July. Palo santo on its own is warm resinous wood. The combination is unusual and it works: the citronella lifts, the palo santo stops it evaporating. It is one of the few incenses that genuinely wakes a room up rather than sedating it.

Thirty thick sticks to a box, about an hour each. Hand-rolled, hand-packaged, in the kraft Artesano packaging. Thirty hours of incense is a serious quantity — this is the box you buy when you have found the one you use daily.

At a glance

  • 30 thick incense sticks per box
  • About one hour each — around thirty hours per box
  • Citronella and palo santo — bright over grounding
  • Handmade, hand-rolled and hand-packaged
  • Made for refreshing and focusing a space

How to use it

  • Burn it in the morning, not at night. Citronella is a waking scent and it will fight a bedtime routine.
  • Heat-proof holder on a stable surface, in a ventilated room.
  • Good for a room that has gone stale — a study, a home office, a flat after a closed weekend.
  • Fifteen minutes clears a small room. Extinguish in sand and keep the rest.
  • Store the box closed and dry. Thirty sticks lose their edge in an open box.

✨ Temple Tip — citronella indoors is not the same as citronella outdoors

The citronella most people know is the outdoor candle kind, where it is doing a job and smelling like it. Inside, blended with palo santo and burned slowly, it reads as clean and green rather than functional. If citronella has put you off before, this is not that.

Questions we get asked

How many sticks come in the box?
Thirty thick sticks, each designed to burn for approximately one hour.
Will it repel insects?
We make no claim of any kind about that. It is an incense, sold for its scent.
Is it a strong scent?
Bright and forward, yes — citronella is not a subtle material. The palo santo gives it weight so it does not read as sharp.
Can I put one out and relight it?
Yes — that is how the maker intends them to be used. Press the lit end gently into sand or a heat-proof dish, let it cool, and relight when you next sit down.
Do I need a holder?
Yes. Use a heat-proof holder or ash catcher on a stable, non-flammable surface, in a ventilated room, and never leave a burning stick unattended.

Burn safely: Always burn in a heat-proof holder on a stable, non-flammable surface, in a well-ventilated room. Never leave a burning stick, bomb or disk unattended. Keep away from children, pets, curtains and anything that catches. Smoke-cleansing products give off a lot of smoke — start away from smoke detectors. Store dry and out of direct sun. A ritual object, not a remedy: traditional associations described here are traditions of association, not claims of physical or psychological effect, and nothing here is medical advice.

For the room that needs waking up. #TempleOfDesire

In short

Citronella Palo Santo Incense is a box of 30 hand-rolled incense sticks from Sacred Scents Sanctuary. The blend pairs bright citronella with warm, resinous palo santo, and each thick stick burns for roughly one hour — around thirty hours per box. People burn it in the morning to refresh a study, home office or a room that has gone stale, rather than as an evening scent. One box costs $35, with two- and three-box options at $70 and $105, hand-rolled and hand-packaged in kraft Artesano packaging. The maker and shop make no insect-repellent claim of any kind; it is sold for its scent.
