Walk into almost any home in the Gulf and the first thing you notice is the scent of bakhoor. It welcomes guests, perfumes clothes before an occasion and gives the house its identity. This guide explains what bakhoor is and how to use it well.<\/p>\n\n

What is bakhoor?<\/h2>\n

Bakhoor (also written bukhoor, and called dukhoon in parts of the Gulf) is a traditional Arabian incense. It is usually made from wood chips, often agarwood (oud), soaked in fragrant oils and blended with ingredients such as amber, musk, sandalwood, rose or spices. When heated, it releases a rich, long-lasting smoke that perfumes rooms, fabrics and hair.<\/p>\n\n

How to burn bakhoor<\/h2>\n

With charcoal (traditional)<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Light a quick-light charcoal disc and place it in a heat-proof mabkhara (incense burner).<\/li>\n
  2. Wait until the charcoal turns grey and stops sparking.<\/li>\n
  3. Place a small piece of bakhoor on top. A piece the size of a fingernail is usually enough for a room.<\/li>\n
  4. Let the smoke rise, then move the mabkhara around the room or past your clothing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    With an electric burner<\/h3>\n

    Electric burners are cleaner and easier for daily use. Switch it on, wait for it to heat, add a small piece of bakhoor and adjust the temperature so it releases scent without burning too fast.<\/p>\n\n
