Incense...

[mapleleaf4ever]

Well, my Box of Nagchampa is down to three sticks left...

I'm kinda new to burning the stuff and I really like it, helps me sleep, read etc.

So, in light of me needing to restock soon; what kinds do you people recommend?

Nagchampa is a winner in my Books. (Thanks Avana!)

I'm considering maybe Sandalwood next.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND GO!




yeah yeah yeah, I'm not a Hippy so stfu.

Personally I've always been a fan of Jasmine and rain-flavoured incense.

I _am_ a hippie so I'm all about the burning of sage bundles too.

Jasmine... hmmm... I'm all about Jasmine Tea so I'll have to check that one out.

What's the Rain one like?

yeay nag champa!

you made me want to burn some right now, but my bf is sleeping so he may not want to wake up into a cloud of scented smoke.

[junglequeen]

dont stray from the best!

Nagchampma is the best!! and awsome of the most awsome to meditate with, but I've smelt everything I know someone who makes home made incense and sells them so I'm like the tester person, but i love pattchuli that is one of my faves, and lavender LOVE IT!totally helps you relax, i enjoy frankensense as well which you can find most places but the best way go into a i believe there called metaphysical stores (that sell books on wicca etc) and buy mini charcoles and burn whole frankensense( come like little rocks)on there but make sure you have an open window or else the room will be a huge ass cloud of smoke , but the lingering effect is superb!!

There's this local-ish company that makes the absolute bestling incense ever!! The rain one is so nice, big fan of apple pie, tangerine and other such tasty smell treats. :)

I usually burn nagchampa or sandalwood incense in my antique (100 year-ish?) Chinese brass burner. I love watching the smoke while falling asleep. Nice and relaxing. :)

Lavender has to be one of the most soothing scents in the existence of humankind.

Almost as soothing as fresh pineapple juice.

.... almost....

[mapleleaf4ever]

Good stuff! So Sandalwood and Frankencense seem to be good alternatives to mix shit up eh?

I'm hopefully going to get some more tomorrow as I just lit one...

[yoko*]

Uhhhm.

I dunno about varieties of incense.. I just like the general "Asian" green kind that are lit at buddhist temples.. funerals, cemetaries.. etc.


maybe it's nostalgia :P

[SEAN!]

Do you know what incense smells like?

It smells like a dumbass hippie's attempt to cover up weed.

Of course if you are Buddhist or Shinto it has entirely different meaning....

but any way you cut it...i only like it if im studying at the library...it helps me relax

I'm still waiting for them to come out with a bacon-flavoured incense...mmmm bacon.
