The best way to test it is to burn it for a bit then put it out, leave the room/house/apartment, and come back in 30 minutes. You’ll get a good idea for how it smells without the smoke actually hanging in the air, which has a slightly acrid smell (mostly I get this with stick incense from the wood burning). For scents just smell the box and give it a shot, its usually cheap as hell. If you end up not liking the smell of it during or after burning you can stick it in an open jar in the bathroom as a passive air freshener/decoration.
For specific smells I gravitate toward spicy woody smells like sandalwood. I also dig patchouli if it’s not too pungent.
