Incense and Scent in the Home

Fragrance, with its power to sooth and relax or excite and invigorate, adds a unique dimension to the design and ambience of a room. Of the many ways of scenting the home, the burning of incense is perhaps the most pungent and evocative. This beautiful book looks at all the aspects of using incense, including sticks, cones, coils, resins, powders, barks and oils, whether you want to promote relaxation or to energize and stimulate.

Themed design ideas show how to choose incense to enhance a specific room, whether this is the exotic richness and colour of an African-style living room or the cool serenity and calm of a romantic bedroom retreat.
