A pungent odor combines with the powder-filled air to make breathing here more difficult. Racks of spices, herbs, plants and other materials line the walls as attendants scurry about helping customers. Pewter trays in each corner hold burning incense sticks. Despite the size and large amount of smoke wafting from each stick, it is nearly impossible to detect even a hint of their scent.
