From my review of Wild Berry's Fizzy Pop incense powder.

A plasma lighter hovers ominously over the tail of a trail of blue incense powder in the shape of an auspicious cloud, atop a flat layer of ash in a brass censer.

i envy you. i too live in chicago and my lease -- as all my leases have done -- explicitly states no open flames and i'm not in a large tower.

fortunately, there's nothing about cooking strong spices because those smells are delightful and have become a makeshift incense for me. lol

    Huh. Well I hope you don't have a gas stove! Honestly, I would ignore it anyway, but if you're not so inclined, simmer-pots and electric heaters can be really nice.

    the downstairs neighbor takes care of the desire for pleasant smells; everything she cooks makes me hungry and i envy her children for it. lol

    the rejection she unconsciously displays when she pushes her children behind her whenever i'm around suggests that there's a hill that i would have to overcome to try; i strongly suspect it's because of the harnesses i wear when i go out.
