Very pleasant smells & so perfect for ceremony sure..

Tips….Take a pinch to burn on a red charcoal. Place it in a bronze (or ceramic) burner if possible to burn this aromatic resin. Incense resins are vaporized on red hot charcoal tablets in a incense burner usually made of bronze. How to burn incense? Burn a charcoal tablet in the incense burner & place part of the resin on it, wait a few seconds & watch the aromatic smoke rise & enjoy. Always use caution, burning incense is hot stuff! Always place your burner on a heat-resistant surface, such as a ceramic tile. Place your burning incense in or on a stable, non-flammable, heatproof burner.
