How to use stick incense?

Stick incense is simple to use and very common. Light the end of the stick until it catches fire, then gently blow out the flame and let the stick smolder, releasing smoke. Place the stick in a suitable incense holder to keep it upright. The stick will burn slowly, spreading its aroma into the air. Be sure to use an incense holder that catches the ashes to avoid any mess or fire hazard.

How to use cone incense?

Cone incense is ideal for a quick and intense fragrance release. Light the tip of the cone until it catches fire, then gently blow out the flame. Place the cone on an incense holder designed to catch ashes. The cone will burn from top to bottom, releasing its scent more concentrated and for a shorter duration than stick incense.

How to use backflow cone incense?

Backflow cone incense is designed to create a soothing visual effect of smoke flowing downward. Light the tip of the cone until it catches fire, then gently blow out the flame.

Light the charcoal until it glows red, then place it in the burner. Next, put a small amount of resin on the charcoal. The resin will melt and burn, releasing thick, fragrant smoke. Make sure to do this in a well-ventilated area.
