A traditional charcoal burner gives the deepest, most authentic release of scent. Electric and tea-light burners offer a gentler warmth for everyday use — explore our handcrafted iron burner to get started.

Bakhoor's aroma shifts with its blend: warm and woody, sweet and floral, or deep and resinous. Each variety carries its own character, from grounding sandalwood to bright florals.

Oud is a single prized ingredient, the fragrant resin of agarwood. Bakhoor is a blended incense that may include oud alongside other woods, resins and oils.

Bakhoor is handcrafted in small batches from carefully sourced woods, resins and fragrance oils. Time-honoured methods and quality ingredients are reflected in the price.

Burn bakhoor as you would any incense: in a well-ventilated room, on a heat-safe burner, away from children, pets and flammable fabric. Never leave it unattended, and fan or wave the flame out rather than blowing it out.

If you're drawn to bakhoor's aroma but prefer a different form, explore our incense sticks for a similar ritual experience.
