Memories of fragrant incense wafting through my childhood home inspired our first collection and revives an old world ritual: burning incense. For centuries bukhoor has served as an ambiance for therapy, meditation, special occasions, and welcoming guests.
Just received our amazingly beautiful Zuleika bakhoor today. Simply heavenly! The best smelling bakhoor made with love and care. Burning just a small piece has spread the smell throughout our house. The combination of amber, oud and jasmine in this bakhoor is perfection. Many thanks to the Mennas team for sharing your family gift with the rest of us.
Unlike anything. Beautiful packaging. Great gift for family and friends. The home smells like serenity and peace. Thank you MENNAS Team!
I was very amazed with the gift packaging, postcards, etc. It was more than I expected when I ordered the Zuleikha bukhoor. I love the art on the package which was designed by an artist. All of it. I have yet to light my bukhoor as I just received and opened it, but I can say the second I took a sniff of it in the jar I could tell this was good, high quality stuff. The bukhoor I currently have is my mom’s that she’s kept for at least a decade because that’s how long it’s been since we last visited Yemen. Something about when I use it in my apartment doesn’t quite hit the way it used to, I remember smelling the bukhoor as it’s burning as a kid and it smelled nice during and after the bukhoor. The bukhoor I currently have doesn’t smell good as I remember as it’s burning and it’s only the after smell that really hits, so that's made me sorta sad. When I told my mom I think her bukhoor has gotten too old and it doesn’t hit the way I used to remember, she didn’t believe me and said it’s just fine and bukhoor doesn’t expire/get old. But after smelling the Zuleikha bukhoor from the jar I smelled a strong, beautiful bukhoor smell I haven’t smelled in a long time. This is how my mom’s bukhoor used to smell when I was younger, before you even light it. My current/old bukhoor has a light but nice smell in its jar, but as soon as I compared smelling both I could see the instant difference. Not only have I confirmed the fancy schmancy expensive bukhoor that I have is too old to live up to what it used to be (and I would’ve continued using if not for Mennas making Yemeni-made bukhoor more accessible for Yemenis and others in the US), I can’t wait to use the Zuleikha bukhoor and 100% relive the memories of home, Yemen, and my childhood in a Yemeni-Miami household. Shukran!
Excellent burn, superior quality and scent. Worth every penny.
This is the best bakhoor I have ever experienced and have tried some from around the world. I got a box for myself and gifted one as a house warming present. There is so much care in the packaging, presentation, and story. It feels precious and makes the perfect gift or treat to yourself.
So glad I was able to get a hold of the last batch of Zuleika. Such a wonderful scent! I think I am addicted, or at least getting close, to using just before prayer.
Everything about the Balady Box is prepared with such care and beauty.
This has been the only order that I've placed thus far with Mennas, a bukhoor for my mother who has used buhkoor from Aden and Khaleeg for the past 40 years and this may be her favorite! Such a rich, beautiful scent! We'll definitely be ordering more, thank you!
I gifted these to friends for different occasions and they were VERY happy. Couldn’t have thought of a better gift to share with the ones I love! The thought and love that was put into each order and packaging. Great customer service too!
It rare to find a product that is so unique in presentation and feeling! I feel
Like I’m transformed while using this Buhkoor/Oud thank you for an amazing product!
The scent is amazing! It's so complex with like a hint of sweetness. 10/10
The packaging was beautiful and this would make a fantastic gift that won't require additional wrapping.
From the packaging to the personal note, everything about this bukhoor is truly worth investing and supporting! The smell is just beyond amazing! I can’t wait to gift my loved ones this bukhoor! Thank you for sharing your labor of love ❤️ 🙏🏽
I was so excited to receive this package. Not only was the incense a beautifully immersive scent, but the packaging was personal, thoughtful and creative. It truly felt like a special gift and not just a purchased item. Thank you to everyone involved.. and blessings to sweet mama Zuleika
This is an incredible blend worth every penny. This is a perfect blend of aromas and the smell lasts for a couple hours after the initial burn. The packaging was also a very nice touch, and really makes the entire purchase a special treat. Highly recommended!
