my father burns patchouli incense sometimes, and also wears patchouli cologne because he loves the stuff. Little does he know that I too love patchouli...

Oh that's nice.

Cute pic :3

I love the smell of incense.

I burn some that I bought from a Tibetan Lama when he came to lecture at a nearby college about a year ago. I find it calming, it really helps me take it easy.

No: too stoner/natural mystic for my taste.
I like the smell of brand new PVC figures, though.

I am not fond of scents

The one smell I love is the smell of new electronics. Like if you unbox a new graphics card or something.

Are there any incenses that smell like gasoline?

Lavender. I bought something that was supposed to be weed, but... it didn't.

>>11849
Yes. But why?

>>11847
Yeah, this is one of my favorite scents. I used to love the smell of new cassette tapes too.

>>11849
Cigarette tar does.

Also, it's good to hear I'm not the only one who likes chemical smells.

>>11844
same

>>11856
Some chemical smells make me feel hungry (another form of the munchies maybe?). Especially soldering fumes.

>>11847
I, too, love this smell.

Nag Champa is my favourite incense to burn. I could never quite get into anything else, except maybe Sandalwood. It's from India, and could be described as a sweet smell that is unlike anything else, I really recommend it.

Thanks for the recommendation~

Mulberry, cherry blossom.
I should buy more.

Did someone say incest?

Oh.

When I make fish or some other stinky food I burn incense to get rid of the smell. I just use a kind that an African friend always brings me.

I like incense sticks, even the cheap ones I buy at the dollar store. I'll have to try some mentioned in this thread.

What's the name of the dollar store?

That sounds awesome :3

You should avoid dollar store incense. They're usually made of poor, synthetic ingredients and tend to be very toxic/carcinogenic.

>>11983
Yeah, I'm starting to realize what dollar store incense means now.

There's one Indian run smoke shop that sells synthetic scented incense. I can't imagine it being very good, which is why I use a kind of Japanese incense made of spices/whatever.

>>11983
I used to burn a lot of this cheap stuff when I had a really small bedroom but I had to stop after a few months once I realised how much dust it was creating, it was all over my figures. Like you said, probably not real healthy either.

Speaking of the healthyness of synthetic incense, are natural incense actually healthy? This is a retorhical(sp) question kinda, I just wanted to bring up the point that natural isn't always better.

>>11995
I mainly meant that you shouldnt burn too much in a small space (with the door closed). I am aware of the naturalistic fallacy, it really annoys me.

>>11995

No incense is ever healthy. Anytime you burn something, and create smoke, it's carcinogenic. But that said, it's better to burn something natural than something synthesized in a laboratory.

The last time I burnt some incense it was in my room before bed. I woke up with a terrible headache that remained with me for three days.
It was so bad I could barely move at times.

It was myrrh and frankincense flavour I think. The thing was it was cheap Indian shit, very strongly flavoured with artificial stuff, I doubt it was natural resin.

Just being near the packet you could smell it it was so strong.

My mom is always burning candles and incense. I fucking hate it, makes me gag if I leave my room, and I worry about the ash in the smoke ruining my figs. dumb bitch might burn the house down one of these days.
