         DefinitionShort: any aromatic substance (usually a resin) burned for its pleasing aroma

         Glosses: incense

         Comments: Since some form of incense is almost universal, there is normally no difficulty involved in finding some term to designate ‘incense.’ However, it is always possible to employ a descriptive phrase, for example, ‘a substance which gives off a sweet-smelling smoke’ or ‘… a good-smelling smoke.’
