‘Smell the clean dry desert air through New Mexico's ancient desert pines, feel the sun setting over the high mesas, while long shadows paint the terracotta hills, dotted with a sea of sagebrush.’

Scent notes:
Bright notes of pinyon, juniper and desert sagebrush are

Story:
Chimayo has long been an important site for the Hispanic weaving traditions of northern New Mexico, and an important style of weaving is named after the town.
 
The name Chimayo actually derives from a Tewa Indian name for the hill of Tsi Mayoh. Tsi Mayoh is one of four sacred hills or mountains that rise above the Chimayo Valley. These mountains enclose the 4 sacred directions.
 
The soil itself was believed to have healing powers by the Tewa, who called it “blessed earth,” and this belief was picked up by Spanish settlers in the 1600s who founded the village of Chimayo on the ruin of a Tewa pueblo.
 
Centuries of beliefs in the ‘holy dirt’, the blessed earth, the soil of the sacred hill, come together in this one small village, preserving a deep spiritual connection to the land, Chimayo.
