Who it is for, and when
For anyone who prefers a floral, powdery bakhoor to a resinous or spicy one: rose and jasmine round out the wood, while lily of the valley adds a lighter touch. It suits receptions, festive evenings and visits, as well as everyday use in small amounts. Its smoke also perfumes the fabrics in the room, curtains and cushions.
How to use
El Nabil recommends using it with an incense burner in which a lit charcoal disc is placed. When the charcoal is glowing and covered with a thin white ash, place a little bakhoor on top and let the smoke spread. According to the brand, the strength of the scent depends on the amount placed: start with one or two chips, then adjust to the size of the room. An electric burner designed for bakhoor also works.
