How do you use Al Khanjar bakhour? 

Al Khanjar bakhour contains 50g of scented wood chips. Enough to fragrance your home for hours on end! To use your Arabic bakhour, you’ll need an incense burner. Whether electric or traditional, it’s very simple to use: 

1. Light a charcoal briquette and wait for it to catch fire; 
2. Place a few pieces of Al Khanjar bakhour on top; 
3. The white smoke is a sign of the quality of your oriental incense. 

If using an electric incense burner, simply press the button. Then place the bakhour directly on it. Or add a small piece of aluminum foil to make cleaning the incense holder easier. 

Note: the more bakhour you add to the electric incense burner—or even without one—the more abundant and pronounced the scent will be. It’s up to you to adjust the amount to your liking! 

Some precautions to keep in mind

As with any other incense, we urge you to exercise particular caution when using it. In particular, always keep this product out of the sight and reach of children. The incense burner must always be placed in a well-ventilated area. Make sure to place it on its own, so that it is not near flammable objects. Go further by discovering the Red Leather fragrance!
