My wife is into burning incense but I dislike smoke so she changed her evil ways even before we married.
My wife took up the far more civilised practise of aromatherapy. Using a small unadulterated candle to heat a well containing water & essential oil/blended oil of choice.
The candles are virtually smokeless and odourless so the only fragrance released into the air is the fragrance of the essential oil.
She nearly always has her candles burning when she listens to music. (So to speak)
Some of the fragrances/scents she uses are;
• Gardenia
• Vanilla
• Lavander
• Sandalwood
• Boronia
• Jasmine
• Geranium
• Musk
• Basil
• Chamomile
• Eucalyptus
• Spruce
• Agar
I leave it all to her and she usually has several burners going at once but only at one end of the house. The candles burning, the silhouettes created and the aroma all add to a lovely ambiance when listening to music and dancing.

We do, actually, and make our own aroma therapy blends and sticks, for burn-less enjoyment as well as the classic single candle burner approach.
In short, we love both, but we find the smell of incense to be just a little more enjoyable, and the oils that aromatherapy releases can also cling to things, so it all has its upsides and downsides.
But aromatherapy in the classic sense (candle and EOs) is very nice, indeed. We enjoy that as well and find both to be wonderful adjuncts to many activities.
The original post simply limited the scope of the query to incense. But classic aromatherapy is wonderful as well.
... I don't know, who said you don't practice EO-based aromatherapy as well?
I was just throwing in what we do. Yes, I know it is not what you asked but I said what I wanted to say regardless.
My wife loves incense but she loves me more so she does not burn them any longer.
Yes, of course the vapours released from aromatherapy have airborne contaminants. The filters in the return ducts near where my wife burns her candles need to be cleaned every quarter whereas the others in the house only need cleaning yearly. So yes, I can physically see it.
I think aromatherapy and/or incense burning goes hand-in-hand with listening and enjoying music.
Cheers :)

Aromatherapy is way cool. We do it, too. It's wonderful. We just like incense a little better, that's all.
Thanks again for your post, Sox.
Cheers,
WS
