Bakhoor Omani

Bakhoor Omani refers to a type of traditional Omani incense, a part of the rich cultural heritage and daily life in Oman. It is typically made from wood chips, often agarwood (oud), soaked in perfume oils and blended with other natural ingredients such as resins, musk, ambergris, sandalwood, and flower oils.

Ingredients: While the specific blend varies, common ingredients in Omani bakhoor include:

• • Wood Chips: Often agarwood (oud) and sandalwood.
  • Resins: Frankincense (loban) is particularly important due to Oman’s historical significance in the frankincense trade, especially from the Dhofar region.
  • Musk
  • Ambergris
  • Perfume Oils: Can include flower oils like jasmine and rose, as well as essential oils from fruits and spices.
• Unique Characteristics: Omani bakhoor is often recognized for its uplifting blend of spicy, fruity, floral, and earthy tones. The unique climate and aromatic plants of the Dhofar region in Oman contribute to the distinctive qualities of their bakhoor.
