How can I make incense that smells nice?

Question

I've been trying to make my own homemade incense using a few recipes found on the net. Most I've tried though smell awful! Please can anyone help?

Answer 1

That would be easier to answer if we knew what you had tried and what sort of scents you like.

It is important to have good quality ingredients. make sure your herbs are what they say they ar enad are not to old or musty. If you use essential oils then make sure they are the best you can afford and are definately essential oils and not perfume oils or oil blends.

one of my favourite recipes is:

1 pt Myrrh

1pt Frankincense

1/2 pt cinamon bark

1/2 pt cloves

1 drop sandalwood
