Incense (Latin: incendere, "to burn") is composed of aromatic biotic materials and releases fragrant smoke when burned. The term incense refers to the substance itself, rather than to the fragrance that the stick emits when it is lit. Incense is used for many religious ceremonies and this is a practice that persists to this day. It is also used in medicine and for its aesthetic value. The forms taken by incense have changed with advances in technology, differences in the underlying culture and diversity in the reasons for burning it. Incense can generally be separated into direct burning and indirect burning types, depending on how it is used. Preference for one form or another varies with culture, tradition, and personal taste.

Throughout history, a wide variety of materials have been used in making incense and there has generally been a preference for using local materials. Sage and cedar were used by the indigenous peoples of North America Ancient trading in incense materials from one region to another was a significant feature of the commerce along the Silk Road and other trade routes, one notably called the Incense Route. The techniques used to make incense also relied on local knowledge and tools, but the methods of manufacture were also influenced by the foreigners, among them clergy and physicians who were both familiar with incense arts.

Indian Incense is known as agarbattī in Hindi (and other Indian languages). India has a rich tradition of incense making that goes back centuries. Many Indian types of incense have a unique scent that is not found in any other part of the globe. Exclusive, fragrant, hand-rolled specialty incense, though it is an exotic and comparatively recent discovery in the Western world, has been and is a staple in India’s religious history. Even the poorest of homes would have a few agarbattis burning in front of the altar of worship in the corner. The fragrant aroma and scented smoke of the incense stick is a ubiquitous presence in most Indian homes.
