22 How to Use Incense First light the tip of the incense and blow out the flame. Put the burning incense in an incense stand and place on top of a ceramic or non flammable plate to catch ashes. Another method of burning incense would be to place the stick in a container of ash, which helps hold the stick up straight. Place the incense in the center or corner of a room and avoid having it directly next to you. The best way to experience incense is to enjoy the wafting fragrant smoke from afar. As you see the smoke rise you will begin to enjoy the pleasant fragrance that spreads throughout your space. You will also enjoy the lingering fragrance of the incense long after it has stopped burning. Note Our incense ingredients include natural products that may sometimes cause color changes or crystallization; however this has no affect on the quality of the product. Please be careful when dealing with fire. Varieties of Incense Along with the long history of mankind, the culture of incense has developed in many ways.
