Smells are perceived subjectively, what is one’s favorite smell is not necessarily pleasant for the other. There are also some incense substances that only develop the right aroma in a mixed form. So this question can be answered with No.

Most incense substances should be stored in dry, airtight containers and protected from light.

Coarse incense substances should be reduced in size or ground before burning in order to develop their full aroma. A mortar is often used as a crushing tool, but a mill can also be used to crush herbs and wood.

As good as the scents smell, sufficient oxygen supply should be ensured. The key is that when people are in the room, it should be ventilated at least once (depending on how the people feel and the outside temperature). It is a good idea to ventilate before burning incense substances as the fresh air is much better suited for burning.

To burn stick incense, simply light the tip with a match or lighter and let flame for 5 seconds until you see a nice red ember. Gently blow out the flame and give the ember a little blow to keep it burning strong. Don’t blow it out too strongly as a spark may fly off. As always, burn in well-ventilated areas at a safe distance from anything flammable. Do not burn unattended.
