El Nabil Bakhoor

Six El Nabil bakhoors, in jars of 30 to 70 g. They are wood chips soaked in perfume oils, burned for a few minutes on charcoal or an electric burner to scent a room and the fabrics in it.

How to dose

One or two chips are enough for a room, for five to ten minutes. On charcoal, wait until the tablet is covered in white ash before adding the bakhoor: too early, the smoke turns acrid and covers the scent. On an electric burner, place it directly on the plate and adjust the heat. Ventilate after use, and never leave a burner unattended.

The six scents

• Bakhoor Mukhalat 70 g: the most classic blend, woody amber.
• Bakhoor Al Warda 40 g: rose, more floral and soft.
• Bakhoor Al Sahara 30 g: dry and woody, a good trial size.

Scenting a garment

The traditional method is to hold the fabric above the smoke for a few seconds, at a safe distance from the embers. Bakhoor then lingers well on wool and thick cotton. The rest of the brand is in the El Nabil collection, and the other bakhoors in the incense and bakhoor selection.
