incense
Aromatic temple smoke
Incense is a substance that releases fragrant smoke when burned, used in religious ceremonies, meditation, or simply to scent a room: The temple was thick with incense.
The verb incense (stressed on the second syllable) means to make extremely angry: The decision incensed the workers.
Someone incensed is furious, not perfumed.
