Whilst both plants hold sacred cleansing and purifying properties, Palo Santo and White Sage have slight metaphysical differences whilst burnt.
Sage offers an incredibly strong 'herby' scent with notes of cedar and grass. Whilst smouldering, Sage is said to clear ALL energy, including the good and the bad.
The scent of Palo Santo is slightly more subtle, it has a beautiful woodsy aroma with notes of pine, lemon, and mint. Palo Santo is said to cleanse negative energy and bring in the good.
