Incense?

[kimlovescats]

I LOVE to burn incense! Not only does it smell great, but it is much safer to burn around kitties and doggies! Also, it gets in the air immediately ... so if unexpected guests pop in, you have a quick coverup for stinky odors!

Do you like incense? What brands do you use? I am always looking for great smelling ones!

Thanks,
Kim

No way! not if I intend to breathe with a clear head and painfree sinuses!

My mum hates incense, I'm sort of impartial but sometimes I do find them quite smoky. We tend to go for scented candles

Incense makes me ill. I can tolerate lots of air fresheners, but not incense. I think it reminds me of the Catholic church.

WOW! So far no one else likes it! I do love scented candles too, but when you have as many cats as I do, you're just asking for a housefire!

Incense is an instant migraine for me. It also reminds me of the 70's

I like to burn candles in hefty jars - that way kitties can't knock them over or get to the flame (well, Robbie could probably manage)

But incense just bothers me - too strong or smoky I guess?

Incense, scented candles, "room fresheners," many cleaning products - I'm allergic - very much so - to all of them.

I don't usually mind the smell, but I do very much mind the wheezing, coughing, choking, itchy eyes, and headache.

I like incense when you can burn it next to an open window and all the smoke goes outside but you can still smell it. Incense reminds me of "head shops" when I was teenager.

I burn incense once in awhile!!!!

My favorite scent is Patchouli!!!!!

I also grow lavender and harvest what I can from it!!!! That scent is very comforting!!!!!

I'm like Debbie, instant migraine for me. In fact, I thought it smelled kind of stuffy in the house today so I sprayed some air freshener - big mistake. My head is starting to throb. Seems like I'm getting more sensitive to smells every day.

I love incense too and burn it regularly. I'm a huge scented candle/incense/oil burner person. *snicker*

Depending on the brand/type of incense can really make a huge difference. Some of my favorites have come from India (a friend of mine brought them back for me), so unfortunately you can't get them here. But, I have found a "store brand" that I quite like, so when I go home, I'll look at the package so I can get the name for you. I have the celestial sandalwood and patchouli scents in this same brand.

I also found a small "mom-and-pop" shop in San Juan Bautista that has hand-made incense. I love, love, love that stuff!

I was into incense burning in my young days, however i do not bother now, i loved anything with a musk fragrance, still do, but i had heard it is bad for your lungs, probably not like cigarette smoking, but still maybe there is something in it who know's but i imagine hair spray, air freshners which i use are also not good for the old lungs either, our world is so full of pollutents that we use in our everyday life isn't it?

I'm really sensitive to smells created from candles, incense.. anything along those lines. It sucks!

When we do incense in church, I stand it for as long as I can.
