Bakhoor Al Ghawi Yemeni Bakhoor Incense

Bakhoor Al Ghawi Yemeni bakhoor incense for rituals

Awaken your home with rich Arabian woods and sacred spice

Bakhoor Al Ghawi bakhoor incense blends clove, resins, oud and amber into a deep, traditional Arabian home fragrance.

The first curl of smoke from Bakhoor Al Ghawi feels like stepping through an ornate doorway into a quiet Majlis: warm, spiced air, polished wood, and the soft hum of prayer and contemplation. Clove, frankincense, myrrh, oud and patchouli swirl together to create a fragrance that is both grounding and exquisitely refined. With each piece you burn, your space becomes less “everyday home” and more sacred sanctuary.

Bakhoor Al Ghawi is a traditional Yemeni-style bakhoor – small, resin-rich pieces designed to be gently heated rather than lit directly. This style of incense has been used for centuries across Arabia to welcome guests, mark prayer times, bless new homes, and prepare the heart for spiritual work. The blend carries warm spice from clove, resinous depth from frankincense and myrrh, soft sweetness from amber, and earthy sensuality from patchouli, anchored in a rich oud-inspired base.

Each jar contains around 40 g of bakhoor, crafted from a base of natural resins, aromatic woods, essential oils, flowers and traditional spices. A little goes a long way: a single piece on a charcoal disc, electric burner, or low-flame bakhoor burner can scent a room with an elegant, lingering trail. The fragrance is deep and sophisticated rather than loud or overpowering, making it suitable for South African homes and apartments where you want atmosphere, not smoke clouds.

Energetically, this style of bakhoor is wonderful for grounding and protection. The resins and oud tones are associated with Root Chakra stability and a strong connection to the Earth, while the warm spices open the Sacral and Heart Chakras to warmth, intimacy and heartfelt presence. The element is primarily Fire – transformative, cleansing, activating – with an Earth undercurrent that brings steadiness and containment.

Bakhoor Al Ghawi supports many kinds of ritual and daily mindfulness: setting the tone for Fajr or evening prayer, creating a cocoon of stillness for meditation, adding depth to journalling or tarot work, or simply clearing the energy of your lounge after guests, conflict, or a long week. Practically, it is simple to use: place a small piece on your chosen burner, allow it to warm and release aromatic smoke, and always ensure good ventilation and safe handling. Used with respect, it becomes one of those quiet tools that slowly weaves more beauty into your everyday life.

Why Choose This Product?

Bakhoor Al Ghawi is ideal if you love Arabian fragrance and want something more traditional and layered than a simple incense stick. It offers the richness of oud and resins with a warm, spiced heart – luxurious without feeling heavy, spiritual without being austere.

For South African homes, it is especially useful when you’d like to clear cooking smells, shift the energy after a busy day, or create a devotional atmosphere without relying on synthetic sprays.
