What is Bakhoor?
Arabic incense that has traditionally been produced using perfume oils, floral waters, and resin-soaked wood chips, usually made from oud, has been a common practice in the Middle East for over 1000 years as a home fragrance, aromatic greeting to guests, and religious experience. This product is becoming increasingly popular in India among fragrance lovers because of its strength and long lasting scent.
How to Use Bakhoor - Home, Clothes, Hair and More
Bakhoor as an Ambient Room Fragrance
Light 2-3 small pieces of bakhoor in a mabkhara (a traditional incense burner) over a burning charcoal disc. Let the smoke move throughout your living area for 10-15 minutes. Best for welcoming guests to your home, prior to prayer times, or whenever you'd like your home to be filled with the deep aromatic scent of Arabic oud.
Using Bakhoor to Scent Fabrics and Hair
Hold your clothing, abaya, or curtains over the rising bakhoor smoke for 1-2 minutes. The fragrance will cling to the fabrics and remain fragrant for several hours. In addition to clothing, many individuals also use bakhoor smoke to add fragrance to their hair, which remains fragrant for hours and has a distinctively attractive, all-natural fragrance. For those looking to complement this experience with daily wear scents, explore our perfume for men collection designed for long-lasting personal fragrance.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bakhoor
Q: What is bakhoor powder used for?
A: Bakhoor powder is a pressed form of traditional Arabic incense. It is placed on a lit charcoal disc inside an incense burner (mabkhara) to release a deep, long-lasting fragrance. It is used to scent homes, clothes, hair, and prayer spaces. It contains no alcohol, making it ideal for use in Muslim households and for everyday home fragrance.
Q: How do you use bakhoor?
A: To use bakhoor, place a charcoal disc inside a mabkhara (incense burner) and light it. Once the charcoal is glowing, place 2 to 3 pieces of bakhoor powder or wood chips on top. Allow the smoke to drift through your room for 15 to 20 minutes. You can also hold clothes or fabric above the smoke for 1 to 2 minutes to fragrance them.
Q: What is the difference between bakhoor and attar?
A: Bakhoor is a solid Arabic incense that is burned to release fragrance as smoke. It is primarily used for home, clothes, and hair fragrance. Attar is a concentrated perfume oil applied directly to the skin. Both are alcohol-free and deeply rooted in Middle Eastern fragrance culture, but they are used differently and have distinct scent profiles.
