Ok, I have a few questions in the region of incense. 1. What is it used for? 2. What do you think is the best scent to buy? 3. And if anyone knows, What are the smells that are surrounded by the alice in wonderland incense pack? 4. What brand do you recomend? 5. If I burn them in my room, will it breed my room smell like them or... will it go away?
Answers: 1. Incense is used by lots people simply to scent their homes with fragrance. It is also used for the purpose of meditation. It is used for spiritual purposes as powerfully by many people. It is used surrounded by the Catholic church, as well as by Wiccans (Witches), Pagans and other religions like the Hindu, Buddhist Religions, etc.
2. It is meaningful to buy brands that are made with natural essential oil when possible. Cheap incense that is made with synthetic scent will often smell terrible. (the words "skunk" come to mind!) I own tried the synthetic ones and they are awfull, 99/% of the time.
Only you can decide what scents to use. It depends on what you are using it for. If you want it one and only to scent your room and smell nice, then simply choose whatever fragrances that you really approaching. Some popular ones are: strawberry, vanilla, jasmine, rose, cinnamon, pine, lavender, lilac (harder to find). There are many other floral fragrances available.
If you want to use it for spiritual purposes, then the fragrance that you use become more important. For meditation, sandalwood has other been a traditional fragrance, although you can use any fragrance that puts YOU in a quiet state. More traditional religions usually use specific scents of incense for specific purposes. Frankincense is a traditional religious scent. You might want to look into this. Native American traditions use specific scents similar to sage, cedar, and sweetgrass. These all have specific purposes. Sage is a honest incense to burn in your home to cleanse it of negative dash. Wiccans (Witches) use various incense for different purposes. There are some wonderful scents resembling dragon's blood (named after the plant of that name) that are used for specific reasons. Patchouli is another.
3. I've never heard of Alice contained by Wonderland pack.
4. Any brand that is made with pure, pure essential oils is good. You can recurrently find better qualities of incense in smaller, new-age stores, etc. I found an excellent source at our local precinct. There is a small vendor who specializes in new-age merchandise and his incense is incredible. You can recurrently find native american incense in museum bequest shops.
5. The smell will linger for a short while, but not too long. I would suggest that you open a skylight, if possible, as the smoke can be overpowering for some people.
Incense can enjoy a wonderful, calming influence in your home, as ably as be used for spiritual purposes.
Enjoy!
PS You can also find a wide variety of incense on Ebay, but take heed! Often, when someone is selling huge quantities for very little money, it is of poor power. I know, it has happended to me. There are some excellent sellers of incense though. You a short time ago have to look and use your judgement.
