Incenses

Stick Incense is probably the most common form of Incense. The resin from which the Incense is made coats a long thin stick that burns slowly, releasing the particular fragrance that it contains. Stick Incense can also be solid so there is no stick centre or core, only a solid mass of Incense material. Cone Incense is a pressed mass of the same resin used in the types described above, but it stands alone in the form of a Cone. Cone Incense is lit and extinguished, leaving a burning ember which continuously releases smoke and fragrance. Cone Incense, because of its mass, does not burn uniformly as stick Incense does. Incense sticks and Incense Cone add an ambience to your home.

Incense (from Latin: incendere, "to burn") is composed of aromatic materials, which release fragrant smoke when burnt. Incense is used in religious ceremonies, ritual purification, aromatherapy, meditation, for creating a mood, and for masking bad odours. The use of Incense may have originated in Ancient Egypt, where the gum resins and oleo gum resins of aromatic trees were used in religious ceremonies. Today, Incense is still used for these purposes, as well as for creating a pleasant atmosphere and scent to enhance the ambience of a home. Incense has a long history and has evolved into many different types and forms, from its scent, to its shape, to the way it burns.

Incense comes in a variety of different colours and fragrances.Fragrances are created from different organic plant materials. These extracts form the basis of the resin that is used both in Incense sticks and Incense Cones. The fragrance can be a single scent found naturally or a combination of two or more ingredients. The combinations of Incense scents are endless, as is the variety of burners most people today choose to burn Incense sticks or Cones simply for the pleasant aroma that is released as the Incense burns.

Incense Cones leave a residual extract of Oil at their base that may tarnish or damage furniture. Incense should be lit with a flame and then blown out once the tip glows red. The smoke will then drift from the Incense to emit the fragrance and continue to burn down without a visible flame.
