Stick incense is probably the most common form. The gum or resin from which it is made coats a long thin stick that burns slowly, releasing the particular fragrance that it contains. The stick type can also be solid so there is no stick center or core, only a solid chunk of material.
Incense sticks and loose powder are the two primary forms of sandalwood incense. In both cases, the heart of the sandalwood tree is removed from the hardwood and typically ground into a fine powder. The fine powder, or makko, can then be burned over hot charcoal or another source of heat, such as a candle flame.
