So, lots of incense falls under the category of “herbs” in magical workings, just that the method of use is burning, specifically. I see the difference as one of purpose as well. In my opinion, incense, whether resins, herbs, woods, are used to set the overall intention and ‘mood’ of the ritual or spell. “Herbs” are more the functional part of the ritual or spell. You may have a different distinction, or none at all.

Here are some of the incenses that I currently have in stock, and their purposes:
