"Incense and Peppermints" is a song by the Los Angeles–based psychedelic rock band Strawberry Alarm Clock. The song is officially credited as having been written by John S. Carter and Tim Gilbert, although it was based on an instrumental idea by band members Mark Weitz and Ed King.[5] It was released as the A-side of a single in May 1967 by Uni Records and reached the number one position on the Billboard Hot 100, where it stayed for one week before beginning its fall down the charts.[6][7] Although the single was released in the United Kingdom it failed to break into the UK Singles Chart.[8] The song was featured in the film Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery[9] and the fictional biopic Daisy Jones and the Six.
