oh my.
1. Start by working on your hygiene and tidiness.
2. Throw out everything that stinks. Yes, I mean that old couch and that stained carpet.
3. Open up the fucking windows!!

That should stop your home smell like shit.

4. If you want to introduce some scents to you home start with essential oils. They are more subtle and airy that incense sticks, but do not fall for the pyramid schemes of esoteric oil suppliers.
If you want to burn insence there are roughly three options: japanese incense sticks (which are the most subtle burned incense), indian sticks (usually very heavy and hard to get in decent quality) and pure woods and resins.
Whatever you choose, do it in moderation and switch between 2-3 different scents.

Hope that helps

Thank you helps a lot. Have started throwing stuff out but needing to choose some good scents, is there any you recommend or is it mostly personal preference?

It's purely personal preference, although scents can be grouped according to different attributes.

There are three notes: the top note which is very light and dissipates fast, the middle note and the base note which is noticeable for hours. The fresh citrus smell will be gone fast while frankincense will linger around much longer.

Then there are the aroma families like Earthy, Woody, Spicy, Floral, Citrus... Knowing them may help you sorting through all the different scents there are. For starting out, as a soft guideline, don't choose two scents from the same family.

Different scents will be appealing to you depending on your mood, so exploring this needs some time.
Especially with incense sticks, the same flavor made by different brands can be night and day.

But basically: smell for yourself and buy whatever you like.

Using the smoky stinky asian shitsticks is not a solution, not being a cavetroll is

I love my incense! If you think the smell is too harsh, buy some Japanese brand stuff. It's usually more pleasant.

It's cool and decorative but not much my style, I've Just gone for the classic wood holder that was a quid on amazon.

I was thinking of buying some nag champa incense (I think that's Japanese?), do you have any recommendations?
