Title: Potpourri, Incense, and Other Fragrant Concoctions by Ann Tucker Fettner ISBN: 0-911104-97-6 Publisher: Workman Publishing Pub. Date: 01 August, 1977 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $5.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.67 (3 reviews)

Summary: Not for Incense
Comment: As a general book for people wanting to work with fragrant materials it has some contribution, but I couldn't recommend the techniques on making incense, or for someone looking for books on natural aromatics. That just isn't what this book is about.
Rating: 5
Summary: A good how-to book for making fragrant things.
Comment: This is about the only book on the market that I've been able to find on making aromatics that isn't just stuffed with useless "new age" tripe, especially on making incense. Incense is more than 5000 years old. Wicca and the literary works it is based on have been around at most 200 years. The use of incense in Christian services alone predates the wiccan use of it by at least 1800 years, yet every reference available bombards you with the nonsensical "modern" reinterpretation.
Rubbish.
The antiquity of incense is well established, and in all that time, the process for making it has changed little.
If you are looking for a simple book on making incense, potpourri and other fragrant things, without all the odius drivel, this is the best I've been able to find to date.
Rating: 3
Summary: Not too bad
Comment: This book contains some great information on making potpourri and perfume components. It's information on making incense and candles is, at best, out dated and at worst useless. I've found a much better book for how to make incense, but this is a good little work. It's hard to beat it for the price. Try "Incense: Crafting & Use of Magickal Scents" or "Wylundt's Book of Incense" instead.
This book rates 3 stars because it introduced Americans to the concept of making incense. This book from the 70s was far ahead of its time for including incense, although the information is not very good. This book certainly helped to expose future authors (like Cunningham, Smith, Neal and others) to the idea that they can actually roll incense themselves.
