Does anyone use these?

All the time - always have, for about 40 years, and will probably continue to do so. Can't stand the smell of chemical room scenters, someone gave me a diffuser stick thingy that is alleged to smell of orange and cinnamon, it's disgusting. I love incense, including the resin sort you burn on a charcoal block

Yes I love them, but I’m quite specific on which fragrances I like. I much prefer an incense aroma to any of the plug ins, sprays or liquids that are popular atm. Most of them smell chemically to me.

Yes love them particularly sandlewood jasmine and lavender I don’t like the plug ins either

Yes, I use them. I particularly like to burn lavender sticks as I find them relaxing and I really enjoy the residue scent lingering on for a day or two afterwards.

Lavender and sandalwood here, too. I find it quite relaxing to put music on and light some incense.

They bring on my asthma so I avoid them like the plague.
