Incense has many different meanings and uses for many different peoples who use it. Incense is used so widely and for so many uses it would be impossible to list them all here, but below are a few examples.

The most common use of incense for most people is purely for and the enjoyment of the smell itself. However, some incense fragrances are so strong that they can be used to obsure a huge array of undesirable odours. For centuries a major use of incense was at funerals to cover the stench of decay. Nowadays many other common odours are masked by the scents provided by incense and incense sticks, such as to cover the lingering smell of cigarettes.

Many religions have and still do employ the use of incense in ceremonies and other festivities. Incense is also commonly associated with religious sacrifical ceremonies as an offering to a deity. Incense burning has been used in the past as a measurement of time with carefully selected materials calibrated to burn at a specific rate.
