A great pride incense were in Egypt, ancient Mesopotamia, Babylon, Assyria and other realms.

Species composition and aromas
Incense may be different in form : a mixture, bricks, sticks, cones, oils. By way voskureniya incense are divided into two types :
1. Non incense. This incense as a District mixtures of small sticks or balls. Such voskuryayut in incense censer, which put them on a hot coal. This is voskuryali burn over many millennia. This is a very delighted, are also the easiest to make incense. Particularly popular this type of aromas in the Arab world.

The first note-fly-you feel as soon as podozhzhete incense. Sometimes it can even seem uncomfortable. But the smell quickly turning into a central music, which is the "heart" aroma aromas. This unique combination of fragrances can be snorted for several hours. A complete sense, the final picture "smear" gives final note, which is usually a substance to capture the smell. Final note aromas of good quality can be felt for a long time, sometimes even several days.
