How to Use Bakhoor Burners Safely: A Complete Beginner’s Guide

Whether you’re new to bakhoor or just want to refresh your technique, this guide will walk you through how to use a bakhoor burner safely and effectively. From choosing the right scent to caring for your burner, we’ve got you covered.

🔥 What Is Bakhoor?

Bakhoor refers to scented woodchips, resins, or blends infused with oils like oud or musk. When gently heated, they release a fragrance — used for scenting homes, clothing, or during special gatherings.

🪔 Ways To Burn Oud

• Charcoal Burners: Traditional but require open flame and more ventilation, can set off fire alarms and leave a lingering burning smell behind.
• Electric Bakhoor Burners: Safer and more convenient, no flame needed but the scent often does not last long after burning.
• Handmade Incense Cones: Stylish and modern — a perfect fit for contemporary homes. Quick and easy to use with long lasting luxury fragrances that linger long after the cone has burnt.

👣 Step-by-Step: How to Use a Bakhoor Burner

1. Choose your scent: Pick a bakhoor blend (e.g., Arabian Oud, Contemporary).
2. Prepare the burner: Place your Zed & Noon Glass Holder on a heatproof surface
3. Place your cone in the burner: Stand your cone in the glass holder and light the tip, wait until the flame reaches approximately halfway down the cone and blow the flame out.
4. Enjoy the aroma: Let the fragrance fill the room — ideal for eliminating strong smells like musty rooms, fishy cooking smells and even dog odours more conveniently.

⚠️ Safety Tips for Burning Bakhoor

• Never leave a burning cone unattended.
• Keep away from curtains, pets, and children.
• Use heat-proof trays or surfaces under the burner.
• Let ash or heated surfaces cool completely before discarding.

💡 Why Use Incense Cones instead of Bakhoor?

Incense Cones and Bakhoor offer a more intense, layered scent experience than typical candles or room fresheners. While bakhoor creates a rich, traditional scent experience, incense cones are often easier and quicker to use. They don’t require charcoal or electric burners — just light the cone wait a few seconds and blow it out and let it release continuous fragrance. This makes incense cones ideal for everyday use, especially for those who want a low-maintenance alternative to bakhoor. Scents like citrus, oud, or musk in cone form also help neutralise strong smells like musty rooms, fishy cooking smells and even dog odours more conveniently.
