Palo Santo in the Aiwaska Planet Collection
Yan Frolov Palo Santo is a unisex eau de parfum created for those who love expressive green and woody compositions.
The fragrance belongs to the Aiwaska Planet collection by Yan Frolov, an independent Russian niche brand with a distinctive character and a focus on unusual olfactory combinations.
The name Palo Santo evokes the image of aromatic wood and a natural ritual, although the composition itself is built around more than just woody facets.
It combines a citrus accord, grass, mint, resins, woody notes and musk, giving the fragrance a multilayered character that is simultaneously fresh, green, dry and rich.
The Character and Scent of the Fragrance
The impression of Palo Santo begins with a cool green freshness. The citrus accord adds clarity and a light sparkle, while mint makes the opening airier and more noticeable.
A herbal nuance reinforces the sense of naturalness, as if the fragrance were unfolding in a space where fresh air meets heated wood.
As it develops, the fresh facets become calmer, and the resins come to the fore with their soft balsamic warmth.
The woody accord gives the fragrance structure and depth, keeping the green notes from becoming too light or sporty.
Musk brings the composition together in the drydown and adds a sense of completeness.
In terms of its olfactory profile, Palo Santo belongs to the fougère and woody families, while also bringing together aromatic, balsamic, citrus, green, musky and woody note groups.
This combination makes the perfume versatile in mood: it can complement a polished everyday look, add freshness to business attire or become a distinctive accent in an evening wardrobe.
Who Will Enjoy Palo Santo
Palo Santo is presented as a unisex fragrance, so its character is not tied to a strict gendered concept.
It will particularly appeal to those who prefer green freshness, cool mint, dry wood and resinous depth over sweet gourmand compositions.
On the skin, the fragrance can smell different from person to person, developing in a fresher, drier or warmer direction depending on individual skin chemistry and the amount applied.
The perfume has very strong sillage, so Palo Santo should be viewed as a noticeable fragrance with powerful projection.
For a first introduction, it is sensible to begin with a small number of sprays and observe how the composition behaves on the skin throughout the day.
No specific dosage recommendations for application to skin or clothing have been provided, so it is best to determine the optimal amount gradually, taking your own impressions and surroundings into account.
The Perfumer and the Brand's Style
The composition was created by Yan Frolov, the perfumer and founder of the brand.
In Palo Santo, his signature approach is expressed through a combination of recognizable natural images and contrasting materials: cool citrus and mint meet grass, resins, wood and musk.
This contrast is precisely what helps the fragrance stand out among simple fresh compositions.
Palo Santo is more than a light green perfume: its resinous-woody base gives it density and character, while its very strong sillage makes it a noticeable choice for fans of niche perfumery.

It can serve as an interesting point of comparison for those who want to explore the drier, more resinous and forest-like side of perfumery.
At the same time, Palo Santo retains its own balance of citrus freshness, mint, herbal nuances and a musky-woody character.
