Raed Bakhoor by Lattafa distils the aromatic elegance of the house's much admired Ra'ed line into a 100g box of traditional Arabian incense. Built around the same refined blend of bergamot, lavender, cardamom and warm woods that defines the Ra'ed eau de parfum, this bakhoor fills the home with a scent that is polished rather than heavy, aromatic rather than smoky-sweet. It is the kind of home fragrance that makes visitors ask what that wonderful smell is, and it does so at a price that lets you burn it freely rather than saving it for special occasions.
The Scent Journey
The Opening
Lay a piece on a glowing charcoal disc or an electric burner and the first fragrant tendrils appear within moments. Bergamot and lavender lead the way, an unusual and appealing opening for bakhoor that fills the room with a crisp, barbershop-clean brightness threaded through the smoke.
The Heart
As the incense warms, cardamom and geranium come forward, adding a gently spiced, green-floral warmth. This is where Raed Bakhoor finds its balance, poised between freshness and comfort, and the whole house begins to carry its confident, welcoming signature.
The Dry Down
When the burning is done, patchouli, cedarwood and a soft veil of vanilla remain. The lingering scent on cushions, curtains and clothing is warm, woody and quietly sweet, a trace of hospitality that lasts long after the burner has cooled.
Fragrance Notes
Top: bergamot, lavender
Heart: cardamom, geranium
Base: patchouli, cedarwood, vanilla
Longevity and Performance
One small piece will perfume an average room for several hours, and the woody-vanilla trail carries on in soft furnishings well into the next day. Burned on charcoal the scent throw is strong enough for open-plan spaces; on an electric burner it releases more gradually, ideal for bedrooms and studies. The 100g box holds enough incense for many sessions, making it excellent value for regular use.
When to Use It
Raed Bakhoor is suited to autumn and winter evenings when its cardamom and cedar warmth feels most inviting, yet the lavender and bergamot lift keeps it perfectly wearable for your home in spring too. Burn it to welcome guests in the traditional Gulf manner, to freshen the house after cooking, or to scent garments and scarves before an occasion. It is equally at home during Ramadan evenings and ordinary weeknights.
