Application
Bakhoor Fragrance Oils — Oud, Amber & Rose.
Bakhoor is wood chips or paste soaked in perfume and heated on charcoal or an electric burner. It is heat, not flame, that releases it — so rich, heavy compositions of oud, amber, rose and musk are what the tradition is built on.
What the base demands
- Heat release
- Bakhoor is warmed rather than burnt, which favours heavy, tenacious materials. Ouds, ambers, resins, rose and musks perform; thin fresh notes do not.
- Soak and dry
- Chips or paste are soaked in perfume and allowed to absorb and dry. The perfume must not turn sticky, crystallise or separate on the chips.
- Judge on the burner
- Evaluate on the same burner your customer uses, at its real temperature, over the full release.
Starting doses

Every range here is a commercial starting point, not a limit. The IFRA conformity certificate for the specific compound and product category — and the law where you sell — always override it. How to work out your dose →
