Copala

Copala by Xinú is a refined, unisex incense perfume centered around copal resin, blending woody, balsamic, and subtly sweet vanilla notes. The scent opens with a crisp, aromatic woody and pink pepper top note, creating a light yet textured foundation. It evolves into a surprisingly dynamic fragrance: first, a dry, earthy, and slightly resinous woody core; then, a quiet but lingering vanilla that contributes to the warmth without overwhelming. The dominant character is a delicate, airy incense—less smoky than incense traditionally portrayed, more natural and transparent. While some perceive a light, elusive sweetness reminiscent of honeyed vanilla, others note the vanilla as faint or threadlike. The fragrance is notably unisex in character, shifting between more masculine, cologne-like clean woodiness and softer, tender drapes of vanillic wood. Sillage is moderate, with projection that settles close to the skin, making it suitable for both day and night wear, especially in autumn and spring. It feels modern yet timeless—a perfume that exists between ritual and contemporary elegance. It stands as a quietly powerful expression of Mexican terroir, rooted in natural copal resin, mesquite wood, and high-quality raw materials.
