Never used in my parish by the pastor. He’s been there since 2000 I think. At least he has stopped the snide comments in his homilies about those priests who do use incense.

There was an associate pastor there for about 2 years. He used incense at most of his Sunday Masses (and was the target of many snide comments for it).

One priest at my church seemed to use it almost every Sunday for a while, but he doesn’t as much anymore. He probably got allergy complaints, I dunno. Overall, incense gets occasional Sunday use, and is often employed at solemnities - particularly Marian feasts it seems.
 
Every Sunday, at most Masses. (We have 5 on Sunday.) Every Holy Day of Obligation.

One year there was so much incense at Christmas Midnight Mass that it set off the fire alarm!

My DH has allergies, and the smoke can certainly set them off. Because of that, we sit further back.

And we are an OF parish. Father doesn’t speak Latin, but I hear he’s learning!

I love them smells and bells!

Just about all the solemnities and sometimes on regular Sundays. Odd though, he didn’t on Thursday, for Mary, Mother of God.
 
My pastor uses incense at the one High Mass my parish has every Sunday, and at the High Masses on Holy Days of Obligation.

So every week. He actually talked today in the Homile about how people were complaining about him using it, but then pointed out how in ancient Israel it was the standard.

He also pointed out the Book of Revelation where Heaven is filled with incense. 😛
