During Ramadan, homes across the Gulf fill with the scent of bakhoor as families prepare for iftar and welcome guests. Fragrance is part of hospitality, of prayer and of celebration.
Fragrance through the Ramadan day
- Before iftar: burn Oud Bakhoor or Mukhalat Malaki in the majlis to welcome family and guests.
- Before taraweeh: many prefer a light, alcohol-free oil such as White Musk Oud Oil or Golden Oud Oil.
- Evening gatherings: a warm perfume like Sheikh Zayed.
