That depends on many things; do demons exist? If yes; what religion is correct? Then it would depend on your interpretation of the holy writings of that religion; most don't say "Take a pot of frankincense and douse the demon in it", but you can say that anything with holy connotations will drive away evil because they are opposites.The church has always endorsed Galen's theory of opposites, and it all links together. The purity of the frankincense will drive away the foulness of the demon.
Before taking this to be your answer, consider the first questions. At no point (to my knowledge) does it say in The Bible that frankincense will drive away demons, but to most it would seem common sense. However, unless you are in a situation in which two demons are trying to gouge your eyes out, answering the question is unlikely to actually help anyone (as demons don't exist - sorry for my bluntness).
