Do any of you burn incense? What kind do you like the best?
Most of my career has been in fragrances, I went through an incense period and IMO they all smell pretty much the same when you're burning them, even if they smell different before being lit. This is coming from somebody who has been classically trained to identify like hundreds of things by smell.
I have been candle-warmer-pilled for quite a while now.
I like Nag Champa and Super Hit. I don’t burn it any more as I have breathing issues but those were my faves when I burned incense.

Because without it, there'd be a lot less people Ja-making love tonight
The best way to test it is to burn it for a bit then put it out, leave the room/house/apartment, and come back in 30 minutes. You'll get a good idea for how it smells without the smoke actually hanging in the air, which has a slightly acrid smell (mostly I get this with stick incense from the wood burning). For scents just smell the box and give it a shot, its usually cheap as hell. If you end up not liking the smell of it during or after burning you can stick it in an open jar in the bathroom as a passive air freshener/decoration.
For specific smells I gravitate toward spicy woody smells like sandalwood. I also dig patchouli if it's not too pungent.
oh I love incense,
Nag Champa, French Vanilla, Sage or White Sage, Dragons Blood, Frankinsence, Sandalwood, pachouli are my favourites
I've also had a load of others that I enjoyed but those would be the most pleasant
I need to get more at some point.
Frankincense and myrrh blends are about one of the only good things to come out of the Christian church
