the best incense in the world

my mom sometimes burned incense when i was a wee one. i’ve always loved the warm, sweet smoke. in high school i actually tried to smoke incense…but that’s another story. i think i’ve found the best brand out there for incense, and you can order it online! it’s called Fred Soll’s Resin On A Stick, very aptly name because this incense looks like candy! it is actually sticky and has crystalized sugar rocks along each stick. it takes forever to burn (so it’s very worth the $11 per package) and the scents are naturally fragrant (not that icky artificial sweet smell). my favorites are Honey Amber and Frankincense & Myrrh …Jesus’ favorite flavor.

incense is thought to date back to ancient Egypt. it has been used throughout the years in spiritual practices for purification and meditation or just simply for setting a mood or masking bad odors. i use it for aromatherapy and relaxation, it makes me feel cozy!

    i used to love the smell of incense when i was younger when my mom used to burn the ones we got from thailand on our holidays but nowadays a lot of things make my nose sensitive and stuff so i cant burn them anymore :( they do have a really relaxing effect though

    Along the lines of Fred Sol, another New Mexico incense maker, Incense Art.
    Probably the finest around. The juniper sticks are incredible.
    The problem is that they only produce small quantities of hand made sticks. No web site.
    I bought juniper sticks at the Taos Farmers Market. Expensive. Made in several forms. No bamboo.
