Notes of: warm amber, sweet musk, and rich oud.
Named in honor of my late mother, the original Zuleika Bukhoor Incense Blend was sourced by her in the old city of Sana’a, just days before she made her final transition from this world. It was then carefully handcrafted by my older sister in Yemen, Asnaa, who followed my mother’s recipe.
Bukhoor is the Arabic name for a blend of fragrance oils, spices, and other natural ingredients specially chosen for their scent. When burned over charcoal, it emits an aromatic smoke. For centuries bukhoor has served as an ambiance for therapy, meditation, special occasions, and welcoming guests.
Size: 50 grams
How to use: After lighting charcoal with a flame, carefully place a piece of incense on top. For a slower, cleaner burn, place a mica plate on the charcoal before adding bakhoor.
Each piece will burn for 4 - 6 mins. The aromatic scent fills the space for hours after vary by size of the space.
Giving: A portion of our proceeds from this special batch will serve as the seed funding to continue mama’s legacy: supporting women in Yemen in their quest to become entrepreneurs.
WARNING: Do not allow it to burn unsupervised. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid putting in drafty areas or near any flammable materials. Do not directly inhale smoke.
