Bakhoor is a woodchip which has been submerged in perfumed oil and mixed with other natural ingredients such as resin, sandalwood essential oils among others depending on an individual’s preference. These scented chips are mostly burned on charcoal or using an electric incense burner to perfume the rich fragrance produced in the form of thick smoke. In most cases, this fragrance is used during special occasions such as weddings, love centered occasions or during relaxing moments.
In Arabian culture, it is a traditional gesture to pass Bakhoor among the invited guests as it was viewed to be a hospitality gesture. Additionally, the guests would feel the warm welcome in that homestead through the fragrance produced.
