Bakhour Khanjar, from Banafa for oud

Banafa for oud is a little-known brand in the West. Yet in the East, this perfume house has an unprecedented reputation. With experience dating back to 1975 and a brand founded in 1995, Banafa has made a name for itself in the oriental fragrance industry. The company is even considered a pioneer in the creation of fragrances that blend two cultures. Eastern and Western. Based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Banafa quickly made a name for itself on the European market. It's true that Eastern and Western scents are radically different.

Oriental fragrances are strong, pronounced, deep and intense. Western fragrances, on the other hand, are softer, floral, muted and powdery. Nevertheless, certain natural scents, such as oud and bakhour, are generally unanimously appreciated. And that's without counting on the expertise of Banafa. And the arrival of their Khanjar bakhour.

A brief history of the bakhour

Like oud and incense, bakhour is one of the oldest perfumes in the world. Its use has spanned the ages, and some peoples have even introduced it into some of their ceremonies. The first to burn bakhour were the nomads of the Middle East. These Arab tribes lived in the vast expanses of desert, and used the smoke of this natural incense. As well as perfuming the air, they got rid of insects and other pests. Today, bakhour is used for the same reasons in our homes. It can be found in homes, hotels and mosques throughout the Eastern world. The bakhour is an excellent alternative to the oud. The oud may seem too pronounced for those unaccustomed to it. The bakhour is lighter and more subtle, bringing a truly exotic touch to your home.

Much more than a symbol... " Al khanjar" means knife in Arabic. But it's not just any knife. This oriental bladed weapon is the emblem of Oman, and is part of the traditional attire of the men of the Arabian Peninsula. Bakhoor is widely used in this Middle Eastern country. Both in private and public places. A ritual in Oman consists of burning bakhoor so that women can impregnate their clothes. But also their skin and hair.

How to use this oriental incense?

That's a question that might make an Emirati smile! But for us Westerners, the main incense used is usually incense sticks. So here are a few tips on how to use your sublime, premium-quality bakhour al Khanjar:

With an electric incense burner

  1. Place the censer in a suitable, safe place;
  2. Place a few wood shavings from the bakhour al Khanjar on the censer;
  3. Plug the censer into the mains socket and turn on the switch (if it's a censer with a switch);
  4. Once thecenser is hot and the bakhour begins to burn, turn off the censer to avoid damaging it;
  5. Let the smoke permeate the room.

It is also possible to use an electric censer without plugging it in, by using charcoal. With a conventional charcoal censer

  1. Place the censer in a suitable, safe place;
  2. Light a charcoal and wait for it to crackle and set properly;
  3. Place a few pinches of bakhour on top.

Note: to avoid soiling the censer, you can place a small piece of aluminum foil at the bottom.

Precautions and storage

Keep your censer in a safe place, out of the reach of children. We recommend that you close the box of your bakhour al Khanjar tightly after each use!
