Gray Copal (Dacryoides peruviana) – Peru

Gray Copal (Dacryoides peruviana) – Incense resin from Peru

Copal Gris is a natural incense resin from the Peruvian Amazon, obtained from the tree Dacryoides peruviana. Traditionally used for incense in various regions of South America, this gray copal is known for its earthy, deep, and resinous scent.

When smouldering, Copal Gris unfolds a warm, slightly balsamic aromatic profile with woody and earthy notes. The fragrance has a calm, stabilizing effect and creates a grounded, clear atmosphere in the room – ideal for meditation, rituals or conscious moments in everyday life.

The resin is obtained by gentle incisions in the tree bark and then dried naturally. It forms typical resin tears of different sizes, which can be used in a variety of ways for incense.

Application

Place a small amount of Copal Gris on glowing charcoal or an incense sieve in a suitable incense burner. The resulting smoke can be gently distributed in the room – by hand or with a feather.
