Incense and bakhoor

Incense and bakhoor, also called bukhoor, for an oriental scent at home: here you will find incense sticks, cones, Arabian oudh, fragrance oils, musk, and a fragrance oil burner. Place bakhoor on a charcoal disc or an electric burner in a holder.

Which type suits you?

• Incense sticks: easy to light and available in many scents, such as Tulasi Sandalwood, Tulasi White Musk, and Satya Nag Champa Arabian Oudh.
• Cones: small incense cones, for example Darshan jasmine or Nature's sandalwood. You place the musk backflow cones in a backflow holder, where the smoke flows downwards like a waterfall.
• Bakhoor: wood chips or blocks soaked in fragrance oil. You heat them on a charcoal disc or electric burner, so the scent is released slowly.
• Arabian incense: incense with oudh, such as Arabian Oudh Incense, has a warm, woody scent.
• Fragrance oils and musk: fragrance oil from brands including Song of India and musk from ADN Musc. You can also heat fragrance oil in an oil burner, such as the ceramic Wonja oil burner.
• Gift: the Atmosphera Taly gift box, a mango wood box with 100 incense sticks and 40 cones.

Burning safely

Always place incense, cones, and bakhoor on a heat-resistant surface or in a holder, away from curtains and paper. Do not leave burning incense unattended and ventilate the room briefly after burning.
