1. Using Low-Quality Charcoal or Burners
Not all charcoal is the same. Some burn too quickly or give off a smoky smell that overpowers the bakhoor.
✔ Solution: Always use high-quality charcoal or electric bakhoor burners to ensure a clean burn and preserve the true aroma of your bakhoor.
2. Burning Too Much Bakhoor at Once
Adding large amounts of bakhoor may seem like a good idea, but it can make the fragrance overwhelming and wasteful.
✔ Solution: A small piece is enough to fill your home with a luxurious, long-lasting scent. Less is more when it comes to premium bakhoor.
3. Storing Bakhoor Incorrectly
Leaving bakhoor exposed to heat, sunlight, or moisture causes the fragrance oils to fade.
✔ Solution: Keep your bakhoor in a sealed container or bottle, stored in a cool, dry place. This keeps the fragrance rich and long-lasting.
4. Burning Bakhoor in the Wrong Space
Using bakhoor in a space that is too open (like outdoors) means the fragrance disappears quickly, while burning it in a closed, unventilated space can feel too heavy.
✔ Solution: Burn bakhoor in a well-balanced space—like a majlis, living room, or bedroom—with light ventilation for the perfect atmosphere.
5. Forgetting to Pair Bakhoor with the Occasion
Not all bakhoor scents fit every moment. Strong oud may suit formal gatherings, while soft floral notes are perfect for daily use.
✔ Solution: Choose the right bakhoor for the right occasion. For example:
-
2002 Bakhoor: Modern luxury with French floral and musk notes.
-
Risala Bakhoor: Deep Indian oud for unforgettable gatherings.
