One may not produce incense using the recipe used to make the Ketoret used twice daily in the Bet HaMikdash (Temple).
It is forbidden to make ¼, ½ or ¾ or any other ratio of the recipe.
If it is made for its aroma, it's forbidden even if it was not subsequently used. One is permitted to make Ketoret for study-purposes only.
Applies to everybody, everywhere, always
Verse: "..and the Ketoret incense... do not make for yourself" (Shmot 20:37, 38)
