Just got my hands on 'Roll Your Own Volume 1' and here's the tea ☕️
The book definitely covers the basics well - it's like Incense Making 101 with clear explanations of materials and techniques. Perfect for absolute beginners who want to dip their toes into this aromatic world.
BUT... (and there's always a but, right?) I wish it had more practical recipes and formula ratios. Like, how much sandalwood to frankincense makes that perfect mystical vibe? Some tried-and-tested scent combinations would've been chef's kiss 👌
The section on safety is thorough though - no one wants to accidentally create tear gas instead of meditation incense! Safety first, folks.
Overall? Good foundation, but hope Volume 2 gets more into the creative nitty-gritty. Would recommend for newbies, but seasoned incense rollers might find it a bit basic.
