Enjoy the aroma of incense
Originally, incense is an organic substance derived from the resin of the incense tree that when lit emits a pleasant aromatic fragrance. However, there are many different types of incense and mostly it is a mixture of incense. The products from which incense is made are therefore very diverse. For example, incense can be made from a combination of scented substances such as petals, plants, leaves, fruits, roots, branches, stems, bark, gums, resins and various herbs. Essential oils are then added to further enhance the fragrance. As soon as you light the incense, you will notice a pleasant fragrance spreading through the room.
