What incense do you burn?

I found a brand I like (Wild Berry Incense) and the scents are wonderful--floral and woodsy and such--none of that 70s musky stank, but unfortunately the sticks leave soot everywhere. Might have to switch to the cones. I like to burn it while I'm working at home.

White sage, to neutralize negative energy and bring peace and contentment.

Do you burn the sage leaf itself or use sage incense?

I hate incense. Smells horrible and permeates everything

OK but how do you mask the crypt-like musty decay off-gassing from your rotting mouth and dirty bits, R4? Febreze?

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

Nag Champa

R6 no burning of that awful Sand Incense then, right?

Nag Champa here too.

Dead man's hands with beeswax candles, upon which I toss small bits of the frankincense we harvest from our Boswellia tree in the crypt garden.

LOVE by Gonesh ...the best incense company ever

seriously evil!

To me, most incense is disgusting (no criticism of anyone else intended; I'm just very easily triggered in terms of smells). However, there is one Japanese brand, Shoyeido, that I actually quite liked. It doesn't smoke a lot and has a clean, light quality.

I found a brand called Escentials. It's good quality. I like the Buddhist temple blend. It has patchouli, sandalwood, and something else. It's nice. I also like nag champa.

I burned my innocence decades ago.

Nag Champa

Burning incense is unhealthy and dangerous. Just don't do it.

R18 Might you please provide factual reasoning / research for this claim?

Nag Champa

Most candles and incense will release pollutants in the home but if you aren't a Frau doing this daily, and you keep it in modest quantities, I don't think its that terrible.

Smell of nag champa, shadow of a stranger

I like a simple sandalwood. Japanese incense doesn’t put off much smoke. I burn a stick twice daily, morning and evening, during Buddhist devotions.

Do you buy Japanese incense locally or order it from Japan?

I use a Japanese brand that has tobacco, sandalwood, patchouli and vanilla. I love the smell, perfect for fall/winter.

R24, I order it online. Someone upthread mentioned Shoyeido, which is a Japanese incense brand that has been in business for literally centuries. That’s where I get it. I’ve seen it locally in stores once or twice, but I can’t remember which ones.

Nag Champa is based on a sandalwood and champa (magnolia).

I have loved Nag Champa for so many years...hard to beat it.

Father-daughter is my favorite. Oh, you said incense? Nevermind.

Nag Champa will choke a bear.

Another vote for white sage. I tried growing it without success.

r31 dryer soil, full sun. my favorite is clevelandii. better in ground than in a pot.

My partner’s sister is a frau who sells Scentsy products (over priced wax melts and the device that melts them) We unfortunately have this crap now.

Depends on the daemon of the day.

R3 I use the incense sticks. Haven't tried the leaves though you can do that too. I burn frankincense often as well (the pure resin version) with charcoal as well; it's more powerful a cleanser than sage incense or leaves. I recommend doing your research. I bought this highly rated white sage incense from Amazon and have been very happy with it.

Link please, r18, or we can only conclude you're pulling this claim entirely out of your ass.

you always hear those stories about people who were killed by incense

Again, link please, r37, or it never happened.

Lighten up, SS-Oberführer Dirlewanger R38. In our culture, R37 is called "satire" and we laugh.

My favourite is Radha's Devotion from Auroshikha. (AKA Oriental Bouquet). I like Palo Santo and Nag Champa as well. The Palo Santo made by K N Satyam (the same firm famous for the "Original Nag Champa") smells quite good, yet some say it cannot be real or 100% genuine, as the price is too low. It smells great nonetheless.

Try BLUE PEARL. So good it will alter your consciousness.

I have a lovely prune, maple syrup and basil stick I made myself.

We love good old Nag Champa.
