I'm browsing incense online, I always get mine from a small store at the mall (who sells incense, candels, organic clothing & other things). but i wanted to look at a wider range of incense.
I'm now looking at the http://www.incensewarehouse.com/
and I don't even know where to start.

JAPANESE INSENCE
TIBETAN INSENCE
NATIVE INSENCE
CHINESE & KOREAN INSENCE

Nag Champa is the best stuff out there, bar none!
(and it's Indian, I believe)
It's the blue box, the very first one they've got shown in the Indian section of your site.

I prefer the Tibetan and Indian incense varieties. Traditional Tibetan incense is very musky and earthy and I always feel well grounded in my meditations. For fragrance I think the more exotic Indian incense, especially Yellow Rose and Pink Jasmine, can't be beat. Japanese incense is too light and airy for me -- way too subtle, and I'm just not always a real subtle guy!

I usually use sandalwood for meditating. I also use rose and lilac for relaxation during bath time and late evening . There are many kinds and I have no suggestion on the ones you listed. Patchouli is also a popular one. You may have aready experienced the ones I mentioned because they are popular ones and you have already been burning incense before so I'm not sure if this helps. Peace.

Nag Champa, Super Hit, Natural (I think those are all from the same manufacturer), any of the Gonesh incenses, and good resin incense (church incense, benzoin, frankincense, copal and so on). Most resin incenses have to be burned on charcoal, though.

I'm partial to sage and sandalwood incense, which I think falls under the "native" category.

I actually tend to prefer the blends I make myself.
Although Nag Champa is a favorite of mine that I do not make.

i personally like sandalwood and white sage. Either together or separate, they're both great.
