Incense is aromatic biotic material that releases fragrant smoke when burned.

The term refers to the material itself, rather than to the aroma that it produces.

Incense is used for a variety of purposes, including the ceremonies of religion, to overcome bad smells, repel insects, spirituality, aromatherapy, meditation, and for the simple pleasure

An actual example of covering bad smells that I know personally works. - Deep fryer smelling the house out, light a vanilla cone in the kitchen and everyone will come running thinking you are cooking donuts......

Bathroom smells, light any scent and no nasty chemical smell let alone what you are trying to cover up J

Parties and events (weddings, birthday, and retirement) can all be made special by having incense burning around the room in some lovely holders;

Just think of the atmosphere you want to have. People feel good if the place they are in smells good!!
