It doesn't totally eliminate smells, but it does help significantly.
. But there’s a moment every so often when a scent just sticks around too long. Salmon cooked on a Tuesday night wears out its welcome long before I’m still crinkling my nose at the smell of it on Thursday.
I used to rely on scented candles to clear day-old cooking odors. Lately, though, I’ve found that they don’t quite cut it. Savory, brothy smells have a way of punching through a candle’s promise of a linen breeze, or whatever. In the end, you’re left with an odd combination of both smells, like someone did their laundry near a fish market.
Incense, on the other hand, is highly effective at cutting through all manner of savory, spicy smells. Something about the fumes wafting gently through the air seems to help usher odors out the door. My theory is that it has something to do with the smoky aromatic compounds that lend themselves well to obscuring odors, similar to what happens when you light a match in the bathroom.
To be clear, incense doesn’t totally eliminate smells, but it does help significantly. I like to use them in combination with my air filter to really make short work of particularly strong aromas. And they just add a nice bit of ambiance, as well—great for relaxing after cooking and eating dinner. My favorite scents are woody cedar-based incense cones. They make my apartment smell like an LA sound bath retreat—or at least, an LA sound bath retreat that also sells stew in the back.
