6.211 · Artifacts · Perfumes and Incense
incense any aromatic substance (usually a resin) burned for its pleasing aroma Since some form of incense is almost universal, there is normally no difficulty involved in finding some term to designate ‘incense.’ However, it is always possible to employ a descriptive phrase, for example, ‘a substance which gives off a sweet-smelling smoke’ or ‘... a good-smelling smoke.’
