Najdia Bakhoor Incense 100g by Lattafa brings the fresh, confident character of the Najdia fragrance line into the ancient tradition of Arabian home incense. Bakhoor is scented woodchip incense, pressed with fragrant oils and burned over charcoal or in an electric burner, and it remains the most cherished way to perfume a home across the Gulf. This 100g box carries Najdia's crisp citrus and aromatic signature into that ritual, filling the house with a clean, invigorating smoke that feels both modern and deeply traditional.
The Scent Journey
The Opening
Place a piece of Najdia bakhoor on glowing charcoal and the first wisps of smoke rise bright and zesty. Lemon, bergamot and a snap of lemongrass cut through the air, sharpened with a curl of cinnamon and a hint of crisp apple. It is an unusually fresh opening for bakhoor, closer to a modern aromatic cologne than a heavy oriental resin.
The Heart
As the smoke builds and drifts from room to room, the aromatic heart emerges. Lavender, cardamom and rosemary lend a barbershop cleanliness while soft watery notes keep everything smooth and breathable. The house takes on a fresh, well groomed atmosphere rather than the thick sweetness some incense leaves behind.
The Dry Down
Once the charcoal fades, the scent that lingers in fabrics and majlis cushions is warm and quietly masculine. Musk, amber, sandalwood and cedar settle in alongside a smoky whisper of Tabac, leaving that unmistakable trace of a home recently perfumed in the Khaleeji style.
Fragrance Notes
Top notes: lemon, cinnamon, apple, lemongrass, bergamot
A single piece of bakhoor burned over charcoal will scent an average home for several hours, and the smoke that settles into curtains, carpets and clothing can carry the fragrance for a day or more. The 100g box contains enough pieces for many sessions, making it excellent value next to sprays and candles. An electric bakhoor burner gives a gentler, smoke lighter release for smaller spaces.
When to Use It
Najdia bakhoor suits any moment you want the house to feel refreshed and welcoming, before guests arrive, after cleaning day, or as part of a weekend ritual. Its fresh aromatic profile makes it one of the rare bakhoors that works beautifully in spring and summer, though the warm musky base keeps it satisfying through autumn and winter evenings too.
Lattafa Perfumes, founded in Dubai, is among the most successful fragrance houses in the Middle East. As well as its famous Eau de Parfum range, Lattafa produces traditional home fragrance including bakhoor, keeping alive a centuries old Gulf custom while making it affordable for homes everywhere.
