Incenses and Chinese-style perfumes were common household items in olden
times. Nowadays, essential oils and incense candles are being imported into
China, but a long time ago ancient Chinese already knew how to make incenses and
perfumes.

Incense's popularity was much stronger in the past than at present. It was
very common for people, especially those from noble families, to place incense
burners in their houses and even near their beds. Before leaving the house, the
noblemen would have their clothes infused with incense so that they could enjoy
the sweet smell all day long.
