Three minutes is all it takes to know it is real.

We import direct from the Gulf and stock the houses themselves: Lattafa, Al Haramain, Rasasi, Ard Al Zaafaran, Surrati, Almas, Al Rehab and Ibrahim Al Qurashi, alongside our own House of MashHur line.

You do not have to take our word for it. Real bakhoor burns with pale smoke that smells sweet from the first minute, and the scent stays in fabric and curtains for hours after the coal dies. Fakes are cut with filler, the smoke turns grey and catches in the throat, and the smell leaves when the smoke does.

Best of all, come to the shop and burn a piece before you buy anything.

Bakhoor is scented wood chips, traditionally agarwood, which is oud, soaked in fragrant oils and resins and then burned to perfume a room. It is a centuries old Arabian tradition used in homes, at gatherings and before prayer.

It is not incense sticks. Bakhoor burns on a coal or an electric plate and gives a far heavier, sweeter smoke that settles into fabric.

Attar is oil, perfume is alcohol based. Attar is concentrated fragrance oil applied in small amounts to the skin, usually the wrist or behind the ear. It has no alcohol, warms with your body heat and can last most of a day from a single touch.

Perfume, or EDP, is diluted in alcohol and sprayed. It projects further and is noticed faster, but usually fades sooner than a good attar.

Yes. Perfuming the home and clothing before prayer and before Jummah is a long standing practice, and bakhoor has been used this way across the Muslim world for centuries.

Many of our customers burn it on Thursday evening and Friday morning, and during Ramadan. Attar, being free of alcohol, is also widely chosen for wearing to the mosque.

Light a single charcoal disc and wait until it turns grey at the edge, or simply switch on an electric burner. Place a few chips of bakhoor on top. The smoke starts thin, then turns thick and sweet.

Three minutes later the room has changed. Carry the burner through the house, and hold clothes or a scarf over the smoke if you want the scent to travel with you.

Electric for everyday use. No coal, no ash, no waiting. Switch it on, place the chips, done. Best if you burn most days or have children in the house.

Manual, the mabkhara, for gatherings and guests. The coal gives a fuller, heavier smoke and the ritual itself is part of the occasion. Most of our regular customers end up owning both.

Only for a manual burner. Electric burners need none.

We sell quick light charcoal discs made for bakhoor. Ordinary cooking coal is not suitable, as it smokes badly and spoils the fragrance. Add a few discs to your order and you have everything you need in one parcel.

Genuine bakhoor keeps a room scented for several hours after burning, and clothes or curtains in the room will hold it longer still. A three to five minute burn is enough for most rooms.

If the smell disappears the moment the smoke stops, what you have is perfumed sawdust rather than real bakhoor.

Bakhoor smoke is natural, but it is still smoke. Burn it in a room with some air movement, keep the burner well out of a child's reach, and never leave a lit coal unattended.

If anyone in the house has asthma or is sensitive to smoke, an electric burner at a lower setting, or a humidifier with fragrance oil, gives you the scent with far less smoke.
