Incense Appreciation

Nothing is set alight: charcoal warms the wood through a thin mica plate

A session is slow: you sit, warm one sliver of wood, and follow how its smell changes as it heats. The censer, ash and mica plate are a modest one-off, while agarwood and sandalwood are sold by the gram and are where the money actually goes. What you train is scent memory, since only a smell you have named is one you will recognise again.
