Oddly enough :

Patchouli
Sandalwood
Sun Flower

I say oddly, because two have already been mentioned. If I were forced to pick one, I couldn't...

Ours too...we found these really big ones that burn for hours and oddly enough, we found them at our local grocery store. So we load up every time we go shopping. They have some excellent scents.

We have found inscense sticks at a local chain of dollar stores (everything is a dollar).

We buy up the stock from all three stores in our area. I have inscense coming out of my ears!

I always thought you could never have enough inscense... boy was I wrong!

My little sister made a comment one time that something of hers that had been left at my house smelled like "your house". I was a little concerned until she clarified that that was not a bad thing...just smells like a insence shop.

As Mol lights one up in Eaglewolfs honor right now!

My favorite is also dragonsblood, but my husband's favorite is sandalwood. I use a large variety, though. I use different ones for different things. But dragonsblood I like to use for meditation, when I find time to meditate that is.

-- Posted by eaglewolf on 7:00 pm on Dec. 31, 1969
Just lit some lemon grass.....

mmmmm, mmmmmm

I will add it to my list of favorites, especially mixed with sunflower.

I like sticks...and I am going to try my hand at making my own...I have never had a lot of luck with burners.

[Myst]

Dragons Blood !!!!

[Mariposa De La Luna]

Is it just me or was that hard to read? :ahhhh:

My Husband loves sandalwood logs so thats what we burn mostly. I like it too but I haven't burned many different ones so I could find one I like more.

Incence, unfortuately, can not be burned too much in our house because of the kid's asthma. Any sugesttions on dealing with this?

[Myst]

Ooh I also like Nag Champa - especially for cleansing and meditating....

[Earth Walker]

I don't have any favourites...like any scent of incense

[Amora]

I prefer Dragon's Blood but Sandalwood would be second!

[flar7]

What was with all the posted December 31, 1969?
Are we in the twilight zone or what?
In the words of my man cheech "I like dat tide stick."

[Danustouch]

My Favorites are Sandalwood, Vanilla, Nag Champ, Rose, (rose sandalwood is a great combination), and a fragrance by "Airs" incense, called Nightspell. And I also like dragonsblood, too.

[Rævyn Cigány]

mmmm....Sandalwood.....

BB

Rae )0(

[Lavender]

Sandalwood & patchouli!! :)

[Danustouch]

oooooooo yeah..love patchouli, too. And Ylang-yling. (or however you spell it..lol)

[Socharis]

Frankinsense (sp)

[SpikesPet5150]

Dragonsblood is deffinitely my favorite, Sandalwood being a close second, with Vanilla coming in third.

I've never really liked the smell of Patchouli (sp?). I don't know why. My sister loves it though.

At the Smoker Friendly cigarette store here in town, they sell these MASSIVE sticks of incense for like 30 cents. My favorites of those are Obsession for Men (smells just like the cologne) and Cinammon.

I got a stick of Apple Spice one time, when I was in PA. Maybe it was just the store I bought it from, but when I burned it, it smelled like dirt. yuck.

~Bree

[EasternPriest]

Sandalwood and rose are favorites for home use.

There is one we use in church called "roman" that has an incredible citrus/floral bouquet. I love it's smell even when it isn't burning.

My favorite burner is a bronze Buddha that my dad brought back from Japan just after WWII.

[Twilight Garden]

My number ones are Sandalwood and Cedar. (Also something called Cedar Forest that I picked up at a Gathering.) My fiance's daughter (8) likes Dragon's Blood alot, so that gets burned in the living room most frequently.

[loopy]

I don't really have a favorite incense.... Vanilla is my old stand-by when it comes to smells. I'm more of an oils girl myself, though. I find it a little harder to breathe when the room is so full of smoke. It's usually okay as long as I open a window... I'm babbling now. Sorry.

[Starlight]

I like african violet, myrrh and poison! :thumbsup:

[Shadowulfe]

my personal favorites are:
Jasmine
Dragon's Blood
Sandlewood
Patcholi
Frankinsense

and it has to be the no perfume, no dyes type incense...I cant stand the purfumed stuff, it makes me sneeze

[Laiste]

Hmmm...Patchouli is my absolute favorite...I freak when I run out of it!! I also have the oil mmm!!! Sandlewood, ylang-ylang, vanilla, african violet, cedarwood are some of my other favs.

[Angelwulfe]

i like sage, dragons blood, jasmine, nag champa. i'm an incense freak.:D

[Dravin]

my incense is cannibis hehehehe

[Semele]

Is that the aweful smell coming from your room???

Shame Shame Shame...you really should share!;) ;) :cool:

[Theres]

if i had to pick one, it would probably be Kyphi.

[Demeter]

Cedar and sage, sandalwood, or frankincense. (I have to be careful who I buy from. I thought for the longest time I was allergic to frankincense, but it turned out the incense had been bought from one of those street vendorw who uses substandard ingredients and I was actually allergic to the grass they'd used for the stick!)

[story]

hmmm.
probably nag champa, sandle wood, and frankinsense (the resin)
for oils, i have this awsome gardenia oil that i dump all over my lightbulbs. Its almost worth the risk of fire....
but i really should get one of those rings.
as for the cannabis---well---as long as you take the seeds out. otherwise it smells like your burning a used diaper.
:crazy:

[Sequoia]

LOL I'm more of an oils person, too. I burn insence occasionally, but it's usually stuff that I recieved as a gift and I choose by smell, so I have no clue what they are hehe.

:eek: DRAGONSBLOOD :ack: :ahhhh: :sick: :( it smells nice but I'm allergic to it! I smelled it once at my boyfriend's, and my throat closed. If I couldn't cough so hard, I wouldn't be here!

[seawitch]

dragons blood
sandalwood
cedar
juniper
copal


the list could go on forever. also love Airs nightspell. i use the oil for perfume and kashmir i love that stuff!

[Pheonix]

Patcholi, sandalwood and vanilla are my favourites, never smelt dragons blood, but that reminded me of something i need to do thanks all you dragon's blood people!

[Flaire-FireStar]

Sandalwood and one (which I think was called) Ocean Breeze or something like that.. I saw it in a store, but I didn't have any money on me at the time. *sigh* :)

[mysticvik]

lavander, opium and cannabis

[bansidhe]

vanilla is my boyf's absolute fave, so when hes around here, thats what usually gets burned. lucky i dont mind it. :p

i share my room ( and my bed, and my stereo...) with my four year old sis, anna, and she :heartthro sandalwood, so we balance that with my absolute fave ; cinnamon!

and occasionally rosewood gets a look in too.

[Midnight_Raven]

I would have to say vanilla

[Saeryn]

I *love* AIRS "Shaman" and "Angel Dreams"!

I also like:
-Frangipani
-Dragon's Blood
-Nag Champa
-Sandalwood
-Ambergris
-Frankincense & Myrrh blend
-Copal

There is NO SUCH THING as owning too much incense. I have about 25+ different kinds, so far, with *no* signs of slowing. Heheh!

BB,

~Saeryn

[Crystal_Raye]

I guess I like any that have a flowery or fruity smell to them

[AstraSkye]

I bought a small box with three different incenses once... There were sticks of cinnamon, and cones of rose and apple. The rose and apple incenses were just nasty - yuck! - but I totally LOVE the cinnamon incense!!! :D

I bought a pack with another brand of cinnamon incense the other day. It's nice, but the "old" brand is still the best!!! :D

[indigo rain]

frankincense and myrhh blended. *inhales deeply, serene and content*

[~ Monk ~]

My favorites:

Sandalwood
California White Sage
Dragon's Blood
Kashmiri
Frankincense
Nag Champa

[DayDreamer]

I hate all incense. Gives me a headache. Ick.

[serenarian]

I would definitely say Nag Champa, Lavender and Sandalwood, although I like frankincense as well. :D

[Hawk Shadowsoul]

Ylang-ylang. Gotta have it.

[FaerySong]

I like Sandalwood better as an oil :D but my favorite incense is lavander, it just smells so nice and relaxing. ^-^

[Fairywolf]

My fav is Sandelwood. I also love it in an oil. I also like Dragonsblood and amber. There are others but who knows the names cause I forget!! :lol:

[MoonRaven]

As a pure incense, sweetgrass.

As a blend, Shoyeido's "Ruby" from their Jewel series.

[mol]

Wow! Old thread. Mine has even changed. Patchouli is now my fav.

[Eldric_Dragonsblood]

For the bought ones, I love AIRS Dragon Cloud.

But, I'm with the oils/powders croud. I usually blend a few incenses/smells to fit the need. Dragonsblood, rose, sandlewood, and pacholi are usually involved in there somewhere.

[Angel,too]

I really like Patchouli, but my favorite is one that I can't think of the name of. It's actually an Irish Moss of some type (that might even be what it's called)...very earthy. Comes in little square bricks. Delightful!

Peace,
Angel :angel:

[FeatherGoblinglimmer]

lavender, rose, jasmine and vanilla:)

[Darkstaff]

Anything by "Liquid Blue", sage, patchouli Anything, and now sandalwood! (Thanks to you FW!)

[banondraig]

rose, sandalwood, jasmine, sage, dragonsblood, pine, lavender.
can't stand patchouli unless it's mixed w/something sweet & flowery. have been looking for sage sticks on the web to no avail. lots of folks sell the bundles, which i'm sure are better quality, but i don't think that would fly here. has anyone seen sage incense sticks for sale on-line?

[dancingstarbaby]

I love sandalwood, jasmine, dragonsblood, rose, lavender.

[DixieWitch]

I like sandlewood and patchouli. At the metaphysical bookstore I jsut found, they sell some cool incense sticks--they have images in them--Goddess, Ying-Yang, pentacle and others. When the stick burn, the ash stays together and the image on the stick in in the ash. It falls into one piece instead of the smaller pieces that sticks usually do. I'm planning on getting some real soon...

[Gala]

Sandalwood, Lavender and Rose, also I love Nag Champa. Oils the same
addition; reading through the posts, I also have some oil I got at Scarborough Faire in Waxahatchi, It is called Pisces... cause that's what I am...I really like that too.

[Storm Moon]

Sandalwood, Jasmine, Musk and Zen.

[jenn]

Nag Champa
HoneyDust
Satya Natural
Serendipity
I have a coffee can full of stuff that I get online-I like the ones from India...I bought some Cannabis stick kind once but it stunk and I compared it to this other cannabis that just happened to be there and it smelled much better(hehe)I burn Nag the most

[Equinox]

hi-

Nag Champa's hard to beat, but in the fall I like to just get a few fallen white pine needles (easy to identify with 5 needles per cluster, not 2), and burn them instead. Of course, this has to be done safely, but the smell reminds me of fall.

I found it rather hard to read as well. Nice to know it wasn't only me.

Is it the smoke that gets to your kids? If that is the case, perhaps you could get an oil burner and use essential oils/fragrance oils. They don't smoke or anything. Just a little water, a drop or two of oil and a tealight candle...then you've got the scent without the smoke. I had a friend who had that problem as well.

Just a suggestion.

Avalon's Blessings, ~Rhiannon

[asamananara]

While I blend my own herbal incense for ritual use according
to the nature of the work, it's tough to beat Nag Champa for
more mundane affairs.
