What is the name of incense with the oil already of them?

I believe you may be referring to "essential oil" which is extracted from the sap, bark, leaves or flowers of whatever tree or plant is used. For example, when preparing frankincense, the bark is stripped from the tree and the sap is burnt as it exudes from the bark. In this form it is the essence of the frankincense tree and is very intense. The sap or resin may be put through a further process of liquification so it is rendered suitable for use in home oil burners.
