17. What is the Naga Champa scent made with?
I know this is a dumb question, but I've always wanted to know.

29. Fred Soll Incence burns forever
some of them are so wet and dense you have to keep relighting them.

All the scents I have tried are great.

You should look at the website and read about the company. They are very cool.

And if you want to use Dragon's Blood for getting a lover back well...theirs works like a charm ;-)

8. I'm very picky.
There's a store in my town that carries a specific variety of hand-blended floral scents (rose is my favorite), but I'm very choosy about incense or it makes me sneeze. This stuff is really good.

19. You can get it for less on ebay - just make sure the seller is good
Or you can get real myrhh diluted into a base oil for less. This is an affordable way to get real jasmine, rose, sandalwood, and other incredibly expensive essential oils and resins.

That's expensive. I paid $3/oz the last time I bought it. I've got several jars of it around, both in raw gum and in granules.

23. Gonesh ® Incense Sticks #6 - Perfumes From Ancient Times
http://www.eurekaincense.com/AB1038096equick/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=21&cat=Gonesh+%AE+Incense

Love it. Actually, their entire line is great, but this one really stands out. They used to sell it at Albertsons, but for some reason my local store stopped supplying that particular scent. A pity. Good thing I can still order (using the above link).

24. Anything from
http://www.incense.net

Very nice family. They've been in the business for ages and they make quality stuff.

If I had to pick a favorite scent it would be sandlewood or vanilla cones.

36. From Japan
Morning Star (from Nippon Kodo co.) - sandalwood, is the best and my number one favorite. In the late 70's it was difficult to find so I ended up ordering it direct from the company. It always came wrapped up in Japanese newspapers. That was kinda cool, how often had I seen a Japanese newspaper before? Mmmm, never;-) Now I can find my brand of incense at almost every ummm, 'specialty' shop I visit:smoke:

My other favorite flavors are locally made and they are frankincense, myrrh and opium.

The devotees burn it in our temple, and I also burn it in my house. It is very pleasant.
