Traditional Incense


  • The Urban Muse 82 Broadway Denville, New Jersey 07834 (map)

Incense is a fragrant material that is burned to release a pleasant aroma and create a peaceful or meditative atmosphere. It is often used in spiritual or religious practices, as well as for relaxation and aromatherapy. Incense is available in many forms, including sticks, cones, and resin.

Incense sticks are made of a bamboo or wood core that is coated with a mixture of fragrant materials, such as herbs, resins, and essential oils. When lit, the incense stick releases a fragrant smoke that fills the air with a pleasant aroma.

Incense cones are made of a similar mixture of fragrant materials, but are shaped like small cones that are designed to be placed in a special holder. When lit, the cone smolders and releases a fragrant smoke that fills the air. Incense is available in a wide range of scents and varieties, each with its own unique properties and associations. Some popular scents include sandalwood, lavender, jasmine, and frankincense.

Resin incense is a type of incense made from natural tree resins, which are hardened and processed into small pieces or beads. When heated, the resin releases its fragrant smoke. Resin incense is often burned on charcoal disks or in specialized resin burners to release its unique and complex aroma.
