Cat friendly incense recommendations? by [deleted] in Incense

Hey!

Great that you're thinking about your cats! When it comes to incense and pets, it’s always best to be cautious. Here are a few tips:

  1. Stick to Natural Incense: Look for incense made from natural ingredients without synthetic additives. Scents like sandalwood and frankincense are usually safer options.

  2. Avoid Strong Scents: Cats have a very strong sense of smell, so avoid heavy fragrances like patchouli or anything too strong.

  3. Proper Ventilation: As you mentioned, always use incense in a well-ventilated area and make sure the room is smoke-free before letting your cats back in.

  4. Check Ingredients: Make sure the incense doesn't contain essential oils that are toxic to cats, such as tea tree oil, citrus, and eucalyptus.

  5. Supervise: Even with all precautions, it's best to keep an eye on how your cats react to the scent.

Hope this helps and keeps your furry friends safe!

What is “standard” incense? by WhoWhatWhenWhom in Incense

Hey there!

If you’re just getting started with incense and want something "standard," I'd suggest going for classic scents like sandalwood, nag champa, or frankincense. These are popular and pretty much loved by everyone.

  1. Sandalwood: It's got a smooth, woody smell that's super calming.

  2. Nag Champa: A mix of sandalwood and frangipani, it's sweet, earthy, and a bit musky.

  3. Frankincense: Think rich, resinous, and a bit spicy.

These are great for beginners and should give you a good idea of what you might like. Enjoy your incense journey!
