White Sage

 

Californian white sage, which grows in Southwest America, is used by American Indians / Native Americans as a ritual purification known as smudging, which may have taken place for thousands of years. It has become a popular scent outside of the Native American community both for its association with the ritual smudging, and for its cleansing properties. As white sage only grows in certain areas in Southern California and Northern Mexico, and is sacred to Native Americans in that area, it is protected. But every year poachers steal sage from the reserves, and it makes its way to the mainstream market. The natural Californian white sage is suffering from the level of poaching, and it doesn't grow as abundantly as it once did.  "White sage" fragrance oils are generally supported or replaced by the use of oils from ordinary sage and other herbs, and/or by synthetics.  

The scent of white sage is generally herbal, cleansing, slightly sharp, kind of green and fresh.
