Bakhoor diffuser and essential oils

The object

Bakhoor, oud, musk: perfuming the home like at home

In the Muslim tradition, a house that smells good is part of the welcome. The Prophet ﷺ loved good smells, and the house is scented on Fridays, before receiving guests or on festive days. In the Maghreb and the Gulf, bakhoor (بخور) is burned, these pieces of wood impregnated with perfume, a piece of oud (عود), or a few drops of musk or scented oil are placed.

This diffuser repeats this gesture: a saucer on top for the bakhoor or oil, a flat-bottomed candle inside, and the scent diffuses gently throughout the room.

What it brings to your home

In the entrance, the living room or near the prayer area, it gently perfumes the room and welcomes your guests with a familiar scent. In the evening, its arched arch projects small points of light onto the wall.

When it’s turned off, it’s a simple decorative object; when it’s lit, it creates a whole new atmosphere.
