Bakhoor

Bakhoor is a beloved tradition in many Middle Eastern and Gulf countries. It’s made from natural wood chips that are soaked in perfume oils and mixed with exotic ingredients like oud, rose, amber, sandalwood, or musk. People burn it to scent their homes, clothes, or even hair before special occasions or guests arrive. The aroma of Bakhoor is strong, soothing, and long-lasting—it represents warmth, hospitality, and elegance in Arabic culture.
How It's Used:
“Usually placed on charcoal or in an electric burner to release the scent.”
