Using Agarwood in Bakhoor

While each company has its own distinct process for producing bakhoor, they all consistently use agarwood powder as a key ingredient in the formulation of bakhoor tablets.

Both post-distilled and pre-distilled agarwood powders are used in making bakhoor by blending them with synthetic oils and various natural ingredients.
Here are a few reasons

1. Persistent Aroma:
Even after the distillation process, agarwood powder retains a distinct and pleasant smell. This lasting scent makes it a valuable component for bakhoor.

    2. Gentle on Eyes:
    Agarwood powder produces smoke that does not irritate the eyes, making it comfortable to use in any environment.

    3. Easy on Breathing:
    The smoke from agarwood powder does not cause breathing difficulties, creating a soothing and pleasant atmosphere.

    4. Synergistic with Synthetic Oils:
    Agarwood powder blends well with synthetic bakhoor oils, enhancing the overall fragrance profile. This compatibility allows for a wide range of aromatic combinations, catering to diverse preferences.

      5. Symbol of Luxury and Tradition:
      Agarwood and its products, including bakhoor, are often associated with luxury and elegance. This use has been a long-standing tradition in the Middle East, where it has been an integral part of cultural and religious practices for centuries. The use of agarwood powder in bakhoor adds a touch of sophistication and tradition.

      These qualities make agarwood powder a crucial ingredient in the creation of high-quality bakhoor.
