Make your house incense !

Je suis très sensible aux odeurs et j’adore parfumé ma maison. I used among other things, of incense, but as many know, incense purchased commercially contains many chemical ingredients. As synthetic fragrances, dyes, solvents, etc.. Here I suggest you make yourself your little incense cones. Of course you will need some very specific ingredients, but then be very easy to find. Contrary to what you might think it is very easy to achieve. For this recipe, which is not the only possible to, you will need…

 

1/2 from powdered incense frankincense *
1 from iris powder
1 from tonka bean into powder
1/4 part of nutmeg
A little water

(accuracy after a few comments on a forum for… must of course be put very little water if it's been a dry cake that not !!!)

Method :
Reduce your incense frankincense powder in a mortar. (This one is very important as it helps to keep your cone, but do not put too much otherwise you will struggle to burn. You can also put other kind of incense or even better gum and / or absolute benzoin). Carefully Rappez your tonka bean. Mix all ingredients together and drip add water to form a stiff dough. Train your small cones and let dry for two to five days.

And here !! Not simple ? Feel free to vary the pleasure, sage, cinnamon, du jasmine, pine resin, absolute benzoin, even a few drops of essential oils in place of a few drops of water. You have to figure !

Use :
Turn the tip of your cone and let burn on a small plate or burner appropriate.

Where to find :
You will find your ingredients easily with a herbalist, even at the grocer for spices and also on some site I have a supplier list here.
For burners you will find several shops and garden decorations.

Interesting site, English, to formulate its scents :
