No, the body of Jesus was not "covered in incense." Aromatic herbs and spices were used, and may have been in the form of salves or mixed with resins. These may well have been the same or similar to herbs used in incense. The body itself may have been rubbed with fragrant salves, then more herbs and spices would have been tucked into the linen clothes that were wrapped around the body.
