Holy Smoke: Incense & Scent In The Home

Incense is now a feature of every sophisticated home, transforming an interior with its ambient fragrance.

This original new book looks at all aspects of using incense throughout the home, with advice on burning incense sticks, cones and wands, as well as wonderful ideas on display and storage. Choosing from fresh, floral fragrances such as rose or jasmine and spicy or exotic aromas like sandalwood and cinnamon – there is a scent to suit every mood and occasion. Theme room ideas show how to choose a fragrance to enhance a specific interior, whether this is the exotic richness and colour of a Moroccan-style living room or the cool serenity of a Zen-style bedroom retreat.

Further sections look at a host of other ways to scent the home, including aromatherapy, scented candles, fresh garden flowers and dried pot-pourri. With its beautifully evocative photographs and inspirational ideas, 'Holy Smoke' is perfect for those looking to transform their homes and lives with the power of scent.
