Hello,

I'm new to this wonderful community. I have browsed through the treads but have not found an answer so I apologize in advance if the question has already been adressed somewhere?

I am absolutely passionate about oud and incense in general and always wondered how to make incense at home from raw oud/sandalwood and different arabic/french aromas (i.e. which aromas to use, mix ratios,...).

Could you please help?

Thank you

Welcome!
Grind your ingredients, add binder, add water,
form a dough, then extrude and allow to dry.

It seems simple, and essentially is,
but your choice of ingredients,
and the effect you are after,
will determine your binder/binders,
then getting proportions right matters,
there are no set proportions,
so you have to learn which ones will suit your needs the best.

I use a simple syringe to extrude, but there are other options out there.

I suggest that you do a little research via Google, make a few test batches, take notes, and enjoy.
