California White Sage is a traditional aromatic bundle made from dried Salvia apiana leaves, known for its clean, herbal, slightly earthy smoke. Unlike culinary or tea sages, which can turn sharp or bitter when burned, Salvia apiana offers a cleaner, more atmospheric smoke that helps cleanse the space, settle the room, and bring a grounded ritual presence.

Origin: Harvested in California, white sage, botanically known as Salvia apiana, grows naturally in the dry coastal regions of Southern California and Baja California. Long valued for its strong aromatic character, the plant is traditionally associated with cleansing rituals and quiet moments of reflection.

The Sage: Is made from dried California white sage leaves and stems, carefully bundled to allow a slow, steady smolder. Naturally rich in aromatic terpenes such as 1,8-cineole, β-pinene, α-pinene, β-myrcene, and camphor, it releases a crisp, herbal, resinous smoke without added fragrance or synthetic perfume.

OLFA: Presents natural aromatic materials with a focus on atmosphere, ritual, and responsible sourcing, refined for modern spaces without losing their traditional character.

Sourcing & Ethics

Responsible Sourcing

OLFA works to align white sage sourcing with responsible botanical practices. Because Salvia apiana faces pressure from overharvesting and habitat loss, our focus is carefully sourced material, respect for the plant’s limited native range, and clear aromatic use without cultural or ceremonial overclaims.

Aroma Profile

California White Sage opens with a crisp, herbal smoke that feels clean, green, and slightly earthy, with a dry resinous edge. Its aroma is shaped by naturally occurring aromatic compounds such as 1,8-cineole, camphor, β-pinene, α-pinene, and β-myrcene, giving the smoke its fresh botanical lift, lightly camphoraceous clarity, and grounded herbal depth. As it settles, the scent becomes dry, airy, and cleansing, leaving the room with a clearer, more purified atmosphere.

Use & Care

How to Use

1. Place the stick in a suitable incense holder on a heat-resistant surface that catches ash.

2. Light the tip of the incense stick until it flames. Once the tip is glowing, carefully blow out the flame and allow the incense to smolder.

3. Burn in a well-ventilated space, away from strong drafts, for a steady burn and balanced scent diffusion.

4. To stop earlier, press or break the glowing tip on a heat-resistant surface until fully extinguished.

5. Allow ash to cool completely before disposal.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, humidity, and strong surrounding odors. Keep the box closed when not in use to preserve the aroma.

Safety

For aromatic use only. Do not ingest. Burn incense in a well-ventilated space. Never leave burning incense unattended. Keep away from flammable materials, curtains, clothing, liquids, children, and pets. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
