I don't know if it helps, I have never tried it. However, if you have any questions on incense, I'm your guy. I buy a crap load of incense every time there's a fair where I can buy it. I currently have the following flavors; coconut, rasberry, strawberry, banana, grape, pineapple, and some others. My absolute favorite type of incense is called "Nag Champa". That stuff is the s**t (pardon my french). What kind do you have Purple?
