Origin & Lore

Call Clients (Llama Clientes) is a modern formula incense from the botánica and hoodoo tradition of business drawing. Shopkeepers and self-employed people have long burned incense at opening time, sprinkled floor washes and kept charms by the register to pull in trade, and this incense is made for that daily routine.

Walk into many Mexican shops and you will see an aloe plant tied with a red ribbon by the door and a picture of a saint on horseback. Calling in customers is serious work, and it has its own tools.

Saint Martin of Tours, a fourth-century Roman soldier, cut his cloak in half to share with a beggar, and that scene of him on horseback is the image Mexicans call San Martín Caballero. His charity became associated with abundance, and he is now one of the best-loved saints of shops and markets in Mexico, often shown with a sprig of aloe (sábila) and a horseshoe.
