What is incense?

Posted by abdoghla on February 2nd, 2021

There is no greater delight to the senses than the feeling of being carried into a world of enhanced perceptions of all the beauty in our world. And there is no perception more intimately linked to our deep emotions than that of smell – the smell of trees in blossom in a sun-bathed afternoon, the smell of freshly ground coffee and biscuits in your favorite bistro or the smell of your lover’s hair as you hold them in your arms… then, all you need to do is close your eyes…

This page is a collection of incense sticks and scents in all the forms they can enrich every moment of life, by bringing awareness of the overwhelming beauty around us. Be it the abundant aroma of oriental incense sticks that delights you, the subtle fragrance of essential oils contained in scented candles and reed diffusers, or the enwrapping perfumes of herbal care products, your visit is kindly greeted. Feel free to browse each section of the page as you enter the magical world of scents.

The pages will carry you through all the options you have when wishing to bring beautiful scents into your space, be it your home, office or even gym. Scenting your space with incense sticks in your own way enables you to also take into consideration the visual aspect, as most of the objects used for bringing beautiful fragrances to a room also have aesthetic qualities.

Incense sticks are placed in special holders or burners, and their shapes and colors can compliment the elegant look of wooden furnishings. On the other hand, reed diffusers are usually made of glass, and their fragile, transparent look goes well in bright lighted rooms, such as bathrooms and bedrooms. Essential oils, poured over potpourri or in aromatherapy lamps can bring a sense of mystery and refinement to a certain special spot in the house. Potpourri arrangements are great because you can make them extremely personal, by assembling them yourself. Read more about this in the Fragrance Oils page on the site.

Whatever your preferences and particularities are, the pages of this site will guide you through the enchanting world incense sticks and scents.
