I really cannot stress my preference for incense stoves and/or using an “oil burner” to burn incense. Even wormwood smells good when you roast it that way.

Also, look at how fuckin’ cute incense stoves are: 

Huss makes some really cute ones.

Sadly, they’re pretty hard to get outside of Europe.

Hence using a tart warmer/oil warmer instead. 

TLDR: They slowly cook the incense rather than directly setting it on fire. The scent is usually FAR less harsh, far more like the plant smells normally, and therefore far less prone to “Oh god what is that burning hair reek coming off of that?”
