Our take

Forfolks builds Palo Santo for the person who wants a single wood to do the work of an entire wardrobe. The note sits at the center of the composition without any supporting cast to soften its edges. Citrus and aromatic accents flicker around it, but they never pull the fragrance away from its core. It is dry and resinous, with a clean surface that feels natural rather than polished. The scent does not try to be complex or layered. It offers a straightforward presence that stays true to its name from the first spray to the last trace.

This is not a choice for someone who expects sweetness or warmth from a woody fragrance. Palo Santo keeps its distance from the creamy, vanillic woods that dominate so many modern shelves. It feels closer to a raw material than a finished design, which will please those who value honesty over comfort. People who prefer soft florals or gourmand treats will find nothing here to hold their attention. It suits a wearer who wants a scent that asks little and gives a steady, unchanging character throughout the day.

Sunlight hits a wooden bench that has been left out in a courtyard all morning, the grain still holding the heat of the season.
