Oud Makh Mikh Nabeel Bakhoor / incense chips

Here’s a description of Nabeel “Oud Makh Mikh” Bakhoor / Bakhoor Oud “Makh Mikh” chips — what it is, what it smells like, how it behaves, and the kind of mood it sets.


What It Is

  • Bakhoor / Oud chips: wood chips soaked in fragrant oils (not raw agarwood), designed to be burned over hot coals or an incense burner.

  • Typically used to perfume a home and clothing, especially on special occasions. 


Fragrance Notes & Structure

The scent unfolds in layers. Here are the main notes:

Stage Notes
Top / Opening Orange, Aldehydes, Lavender, Saffron, Rose 
Middle (Heart) Geranium, Gurjum (a resin), Cedar 
Base Amber, Musk, Vanilla, Oakmoss, Patchouli 

How It Smells & Evolves (When Burned)

Here’s how the bakhoor experience progresses in a room or space:

  1. Initial Burn

    • A bright burst of citrus and warm aromas: you smell orange immediately.

    • Lavender adds a clean floral‑herbal facet.

    • Saffron and rose bring in a golden, exotic spice + flower richness.

  2. Heart Phase

    • As the initial brightness softens, the resinous and woody components like gurjum and cedar become more prominent.

    • The floral side stays present but blends with woods and resins, making the scent deeper and more layered.

  3. Base / Long‑Lasting Warmth

    • Warm sweet notes of vanilla and amber provide richness and comfort.

    • Musk adds softness and lingering presence.

    • Oakmoss gives an earthy green tempering of sweetness, and patchouli adds slightly earthy / leathery woodiness.


Vibe, Mood & Uses

  • Feels oriental and festive. Rich, inviting, and elegant.

  • Warm and luxurious, with a balance between brightness and deeper woods/resins.

  • Perfect for evenings, gatherings, special occasions, or when you want your home to smell like something special.

  • Also good to use in larger spaces, or rooms with some air flow, so the smoke carries the scent without overwhelming.
