A delight for all perfume lovers, Arabic bakhoor has a beautiful scent and subtle fragrant overtones. They are from Yemen. They are soaked in strong natural ingredients and essential oils. This creates a unique, long-lasting scent. It is unmatched by any modern perfume.
Arabic is the source of the word “Bakhoor,” which denotes aromatic wood chips. The product is mostly imported from many Middle Eastern nations. It comes in many shapes and sizes. Saudi Arabia is the only country where bakhoor is used. But, similar woodsy fragrances are found throughout the world.
You have two options for applying bakhoor
Ways To Select High-Quality Arabic bakhoor?
If you’ve never bought bakhoor before, you could be easily tricked into buying a dangerous fake. To cut costs, many unregulated vendors offer bakhoor with little agarwood. These items don’t survive very long because of the low agar wood concentration.
Agarwood is scarce. So, low-cost bakhoor may not include natural agarwood. Using these lower-quality goods over a long time may harm your breathing.
Lightening things up is one of the simplest ways to tell an authentic Arabic bakhoor product from a fake one. It is authentic bakhoor if the smoke has a little pleasant scent to it. However, it’s probably fake oud if you detect a sour or alcohol-like fragrance. To smell the traditional scents of bakhoor and oud without falling victim to fraud, experts advise buying from reliable dealers of these items.
Bakhoor Used At Home?
The Classical Method
- Traditionally, bakhoor has been burned on coal to release its scent. The following are some crucial actions that you may wish to take:
- To start, use a portable lighter to put out the charcoal tabs on a fireproof surface.
- You can blow on the coal from a distance to see if it becomes red. Or, you can keep fighting it until it glows red and is completely covered in gray soot.
Using a pair of tongs, place the burning charcoal tabs inside an oud burner.
- Over the charcoal, scatter some bakhoor powder or chips. Continue adding tiny amounts of it until the burner’s surrounding fragrance becomes stronger.
- Finally, the heat from the coal tabs will let the room’s rich bakhoor aroma fill it in just a few minutes.
Use an electric backpack burner
If you’re a first-time user, an easy way to appreciate the Arabian aroma is to use an electric Arabic bakhoor burner. Then, you can use a personalized set of burners.
- To turn on the electric incense burner, place it over a fireproof surface and connect it to a wall outlet.
- Sprinkle some chips or powder on the top plate after turning on the burner.
- We advise using foil to cover the top plate to prevent a mess of melted bakhoor pieces.
- You can enjoy the exotic scent in your room by unplugging the gadget after 15 to 20 minutes.
