"Incense and Peppermints" is a 1967 song by the American 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. It was released as a single in May 1967 by Uni Records and reached the number one position on the Billboard Hot 100 for one week in November of that year. Although the single was released in the United Kingdom, it failed to break into the UK Singles Chart. The song was featured in the film Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery and the television series Daisy Jones and the Six.
