What is bakhoor?

Wood chips or sticks, soaked in fragrance oils and dried. When heated, the scent wakes as a soft smoke carrying history – often the same family of notes you find in the perfumes.

An electric burner is easiest

With an electric burner and e-oud sticks, you avoid charcoal and open flame. Place a stick on, switch on, and let the scent spread through the house, room by room.

Scent your clothes and home

Hold a scarf or jacket over the smoke for a moment. The scent settles into the fabric and follows you out – an invisible perfume that lasts longer than the bottled kind.

Keep in mind

Bakhoor loves air. Use it in a well-ventilated room, and never leave the burner unattended. The smoke is hospitable, but it needs care.
