F.A.Q. — Frequently Aromatic Questions
aka everything you didn’t know you needed to know about setting incense on fire… in your sink.
YES.
The sink.
You know — that big ol’ fireproof bowl in your kitchen or bathroom designed to survive boiling water, spaghetti sauce disasters, and emotionally-charged dishwashing sessions.
Place your Sinkcense holder over the drain or off to the side on the flat part of your sink. Insert your incense stick. Light it. Take a deep breath. Smell joy. Exhale capitalism (optional).
That’s it. You’re now part of the fire-safe fragrance revolution.
Glad you asked, safety star.
Do not put flammable things in your sink while burning incense. That would defeat the purpose and make our lawyer twitch. (Examples: dish towels, sponges, paper towels, dreams deferred, etc.)
Don’t walk away from a burning incense stick like it’s a self-care candle. It’s still literal fire. Chill nearby.
Don’t place Sinkcense on a slope or unstable surface unless you enjoy watching gravity ruin your vibe.
The beauty is, that's what your sink does and you can simply rinse the ashes down the drain. That’s one of its whole things.
Sinkcense is designed to cradle the stick and caress the ash so it gently slides into your sink, so you can easily rinse it down the drain so your sink stays clean and your countertops don’t get that weird crunchy incense dust that looks like haunted sand.
Just don’t run the faucet mid-burn. That’s not a vibe — that’s sabotage.
Like most things in life: with love, patience, and maybe some soap.
Let it cool (duh), then give it a quick wipe with a damp cloth or rinse under water.
Don’t overthink it — this isn’t a cast iron skillet. You won’t ruin it.
Because:
Candles are lovely until you forget about them and suddenly your bathroom smells like “Crispy Shower Curtain.”
Sprays smell like synthetic sadness and your aunt’s guest room from 2003.
Sinkcense gives you real scent, real fire, real vibes — but with the safety of a literal ceramic fireproof vessel in a literal fireproof sink.
You're welcome.
Short version:
Clean, fresh, modern, non-cringe, and not like you’re about to chant anything.

Our scents are specifically made for real-life spaces:
The kitchen that just saw a garlic explosion.
The bathroom post-taco night.
