Bakhoor Raudah 60g bakhoor Arabic

Before the birth of various mixed fragrances, incense was used since ages and became a practice among the Malay community. It is also a tradition of Arabs who use fragrance called ‘bukhoor’.

Bukhoor is made from pieces of agarwood that are processed and then mixed with various other aromatic essences including agarwood oil. Bukhoor is burned to perfume the space.

From Nafi, “Ibn Umar when he wants to be fragrant then he will be fragrant with incense, without mixing it with other substances, or be fragrant with camphor or mix camphor and incense. He said: This is how the Messenger of Allah SAW smells.” (Muslim History)

In the international market, there are hundreds of types of bukhoor fragrances because each of the agarwood trees emits a different scent.

Among the types of bukhoor fragrance available in the market include Bakhoor Shikha, Oud al-Majlis, Oud Maal Attar Cambodi, Al Khanjar, Al Nafees and others
