Jasmine (in small doses) and vanilla are my favorites...

Mostly I don't like incense, there are a few that are nice, but not very many.

I use incense very occasionally, when I need to kill another odor. I don't mind the smell, but I find the texture of the smoke choking. I use whatever my housemate has on hand, usually. I don't have strong preferences.

I'm allergic to most strong scents. Incense tends to give me a sinus headache, so I never use the stuff.

My roomate loves incense and through his use of them I have come to like them. I am often amazed by the effect that incense have on a room...I have sensed a change of mood in a room that can only be explained by the use of incense. I wonder sometimes who writes the packaging on incense, and how the various properties ascribed to them are decided.

I use it for the cool looking smoke trails. Often I can't take the smoke - it's best burned in a large open room.

I have a variety of Japanese incense that I'll use during one of our Japanese meals (with sake and plum wine!!) It's a very delicate fragrance, sort of like my putting on appropriate music with meals.

Cinnamon is my favorite scent of all. I also like vanilla.

How about "I use incense to cover my tracks" (insert the sound of a percolating bong here)

I don't use incense much anymore. However, when I lived with a roommate (and her smelly dog), incense became very important. Incense can smell really pleasant, but often it's overbearing and sickening.

I used to kind of like it, just 'cause it smells nice, but Tom hates it, and I don't feel strongly about it, so I don't use it.

Incense burned indoors is always overpowering.

you left off "i use incense instead of chemical propelled air freshener" or "i use incense only when I smoke".

I get some nice incense from DharmaCrafts - yes folks, that's DharmaCrafts, purveyors of fine incense and other DharmaWare products, now on a web site near you, yes, again, that's DharmaCrafts - D H A R M A.

um, anyway, I just light up a little when I feel like it. Sometimes when I code.

Incense brings back too many memories I'd just as soon forget.

I really dislike almost all incense. It tends to be way too strong/cloying for me.

Cinnamon and vanilla for me. I rarely let the whole stick burn, though - just enough to get the scent without making the room unbreathable.

I use it to cover up the smell of smoke in my bedroom. Specifically Nag Champa.

I love blueberry incense. I mostly use cone incense because it's not as messy as the sticks. I usually drip some plant extract oil on the incense that I'm burning. My favorite oil is Patchouli, but I also use Eucalyptus, Pettigraine, and frankinscense. One thing I didn't see on this survey was the use of incense for medicinal or pyschological purposes. For instance, frankinscense and Pettigraine are very calming, relaxing scents. Patchouli is an aphrodisiac as well as many other things. Sorry if anything in this comment is misspelled, but the spellchecker has been telling me spellings are wrong today when the dictionary tells me it is right... so I'm boycotting the spell checker for today "L"
