Three Layers of Scent Appreciation

1. First Layer - Flavor (品味)

Identify the primary scent profile (e.g., deep resinous notes, sandalwood, milky, earthy, or grassy wood tones).

2. Second Layer - Rhythm (品韵)

Observe whether the incense is light and floating, deep and grounding, sweet and warm, or cool and serene—this determines the incense's rhythm and movement.

3. Third Layer - Meaning (品意)

Explore the richness, depth, and conceptual essence embedded within the incense. This layer reflects the theme and intention behind its creation.

(Note: Perception may vary depending on personal experience and nasal sensitivity.)

 

Three Methods of Incense Appreciation (闻法)

1. Raw Scent (生闻)

Hold the incense approximately 2cm from the nose to experience its natural, unburned aroma.

2. Heated Scent (炙闻)

Lightly heat the incense internally or use fanning techniques to release the fragrance.

3. Burning Scent (燃闻) - the preferred method

Light the incense and position it 20-30cm away while gently fanning the smoke for a fuller aromatic experience.
