(the term is used for either the ‘material’ or the ‘aroma’)

.

Incense’ is used for…

.

*it may also be used as a ‘simple deodorant’ or ‘insect repellent’*

.

*’incense’ is composed of ‘aromatic plant materials’, often combined with ‘essential oils’*

.

*the forms taken by incense differ with the underlying culture, and have changed with advances in technology and increasing number of uses*

.

[β€˜incense’ can generally be separated into 2 main types…]

“indirect-burning”

“direct-burning”

.

*’indirect-burning incense’ (aka “non-combustible incense”) is not capable of burning on its own, and requires a separate ‘heat source’*

.

.

*’direct-burning incense’ (aka “combustible incense”) is lit directly by a ‘flame’ and then ‘fanned’ or ‘blown out’, leaving a glowing ’ember’ that smoulders/releases a smoky ‘fragrance’*
