Incense: the smelly
stuff in a cone or stick shape that is used by hippies, psychics, and quirky
people
Incensed: when someone
is flying into a rage very quickly, usually with a decently high level of
provocation
Can someone be
incensed while burning incense? Probably, since smell and emotions, while not
completely unrelated, can have some links together. For example: pretend your
incense-burning S.O. accidentally burns down their house, with some of your
things in it, you could become incensed at them. Afterwards, smelling incense
could trigger those memories and make you feel incensed even though time had
passed.
Although the above is
a bit extreme for an example, it does illustrate quite clearly the difference
between the smelly stuff (technical terms used here) and the emotion.
