Introduction

Burning incense is easy, but doing it safely — and making the scent last longer — requires a few simple tips. Here’s everything you need to know.

1. Choose the Right Burner

Use a heat-proof, stable incense holder designed for sticks, cones, or resins.

2. Keep Away from Drafts

Open windows or busy areas may reduce burn time or cause uneven burning.

3. Trim Excess Ash

If ash builds up, it can suffocate the ember and weaken the aroma.

4. Store Incense Properly

Keep incense in a cool, dry place and sealed container to preserve fragrance.

5. Burn High-Quality Incense

Premium incense burns cleaner, slower, and produces a richer aroma.

6. Never Leave Incense Unattended

Always burn incense within sight, away from pets and children.

Conclusion

With proper burning techniques, you can maximise fragrance, increase burn time, and enjoy a safer aromatic experience.
