The Complete Bakhoor Guide: Traditional Arabian Wood Chips for Luxury Home Fragrance

For centuries, bakhoor has been an integral part of Arabian culture — a fragrant woodchip incense that transforms any space into a sanctuary of luxury and tradition. At OUDMA, we bring you the finest selection of bakhoor to elevate your home fragrance experience.

What is Bakhoor?

Bakhoor (also spelled bakhoor or bakhour) is a traditional Arabian incense made from woodchips that have been soaked or infused with fragrant oils and natural ingredients. When heated in a bakhoor burner, these woodchips release a rich, aromatic smoke that fills your home with captivating scents rooted in centuries of Arabian perfumery heritage.

The Art of Burning Bakhoor

Using bakhoor is a ritual in itself. Place a small amount of bakhoor chips on the heated charcoal in your oud burner or bakhoor burner. As the charcoal glows, the woodchips begin to release their fragrance. Within moments, your space transforms with notes of oud, sandalwood, amber, and exotic florals.

Tips for the Perfect Bakhoor Experience

• Use quality charcoal specifically designed for bakhoor burning
• Start with a small amount — bakhoor is potent
• Allow airflow for the smoke to circulate and fill the room
• Clean your bakhoor burner after each use for best results
