Bakhoor

Some scents fill a room. Amaani Bakhoor fills a moment.

Rooted in Arabian tradition and composed without compromise, Amaani Bakhoor is made for those who burn with intention. Every blend is built to linger, to shift, and to leave an impression that outlasts the burn. Two collections. Ten scents. One standard.

Gold or Platinum?

Begin with the Gold Collection: five blends of warmth, depth and settled character. Then move to the Platinum Collection: five compositions of rarity and complexity for those who already know what they like. Each scent comes in 5g, 15g, 30g and 50g.

What is bakhoor?

Bakhoor is fragrant wood and resin, steeped in perfume oils and warmed over charcoal or an electric burner to scent the home. It is how Arabian homes have welcomed guests for centuries. Pair your blend with a bakhoor burner, or explore the charcoal-free oud bricks.
