Here it is, in Catalan. Although the title says "perfume", it appears to
be solid pellets which are used as we would use incense. I hope that it
is still of interest to you.

CAPITOL XXX. PER FER UN PERFUM MOLT MERAVELLOS
Per fer perfum molt meravellos, tu prendras guoma dregant .ii. oz. e sia
remullada dos dies ab ayguas fines e benjuhi mige ll. e almesc una
draume e ambre una drauma e estorac .ii. oz. E sia be molt, e puys
pendras una poca de siveta, e, com tot aso sia prest, tot ho pesteras e
com sia pestat be, ab un cano de canya o ab so que volras que sia ben
lis tu ho pleneras liscant liscant fins que tu conexeras que romaqua de
bona cruxa. E com ho auras aplenat, auras un guanivet e fer n as
tauletes, e, com n auras fetes tauletes, aredonir les as en forma de
panets axi fet com mig cruant. E con ne volras perfumar, pendras del
panets e fer n as trosets e axi lansar n as sobre lo bresquet e
perfumeras so que voldras. E si pahvets ne volras fer en lo pestar,
metras lo terchs de carbo de salser e fer n as los dits pahvets.
