Incense Sticks
|
Hello Ladies
I am just sitting here inhaling the wonderful scent of a lit incense stick - its wonderfuly uplifting.
How many of you light them at home occasionally yourselves ?

Hi Lillie, I love Mystic Incense Black Coconut and also used to like L'Occitane's Verbena sticks but they don't make them any more. I use them mostly after cooking fish or broccoli to get rid of the smells ... but will go and light one now as could do with being uplifted!

I always make sure that I have a wide variety of scents at hand. My fave scents are always the flowery scented incense sticks. But there are others I use too..... at present I light a Sage Insence stick on a daily basis.....
I burn incense for various reasons....

I went through a phase of burning incense sticks, but now I prefer scented candles or essential oils.
I love the Christmassy candles, but obviously don't burn them this time of year (even though the weather feels wintry). Have a gorgeous M&S one with cinnamon, it makes the whole house smell really cosy and welcoming.

I hate incense sticks, I have an intense dislike of smells like patchouli or musk
I do love scented candles though & scented wax melts which I make myself, so easy to do. I use so many candles I should really learn to make these myself too but there's a lot of regulations, I can only take so many regulations!

I tend to use a diffuser and put a few drops of oil into the water. Makes the whole flat smell really nice. If i have had a stressful day I add up to 3 different smells to help me unwind.
