We used to burn a few sticks at home. Can't remember what scents we had, but I used to find them a bit overpowering.

like wouldlikemuscle, I use to burn incense but find essential oils much nicer. You can use a holder with small candle or put it is some warm water.

I especially like citrus for pick me ups or patchouli for relaxing - they used it in the insane asylums.

You can also put SOME directly on your body. Some are too strong and can burn... I use patchouli directly on my wrist pulse points and it is really nice.

Patchouli (also patchouly or pachouli) is bushy herb of the mint family, with erect stems, reaching two or three feet (about 0.75 metre) in height and bearing small pale pink-white flowers. The plant is native to tropical regions of Asia and is now extensively cultivated in Caribbean countries, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mauritius, Philippines, West Africa and Vietnam.
The scent of patchouli is heavy and strong. It has been used for centuries in perfumes and continues to be so today. The word derives from the Tamil patchai பச்சை (green), ellai இலை (leaf).
Pogostemon cablin, P. commosum, P. hortensis, P. heyneasus and P. plectranthoides are all cultivated for their oils and all are known as 'patchouli' oil, but P. cablin is considered superior.
