Here’s a description of Nabeel Oudh Black Bakhoor Chips — what they are, how they smell and how they tend to behave when used:
What It Is
-
These are bakhoor chips (wood chips soaked in fragrant oils), under the “Oudh Black” (or Black) line by Nabeel.
-
They’re meant to be burned on hot charcoal (or in an incense burner) to fill rooms or clothing with scent.
Fragrance Notes & Character
Here are the stated notes and what they suggest about the scent:
| Layer | Notes | What That Feels Like / Brings |
|---|---|---|
| Top | Bergamot, Lemon, Basil. | A fresh, slightly sharp / green citrus opening with herbal brightness from basil—so it starts clean and lively. |
| Middle | Geranium, Ylang‑Ylang, Lavender, Artemisia, Clary Sage, Cinnamon. | The heart adds a floral richness (geranium, ylang‑ylang, lavender), with herbal / aromatic undertones (sage, artemisia) plus a touch of warmth from cinnamon. It gives complexity and layers. |
| Base | Musk, Oakmoss, Coumarin. | The finish is warm, slightly woody‑green (oakmoss), with soft “skin” and aromatic sweetness/mellow warmth from musk and coumarin. It holds things together. |
How It Unfolds When Burned
Here’s likely what to expect when using these chips:
-
Initial Burn:
You’ll notice brightness—citrus, a bit of sharp herbal green from basil. The scent is perceptible and fresh, filling the air pleasantly. -
Heart / Middle Stage:
As burning continues, the floral and aromatic notes emerge: lavender, ylang‑ylang, geranium, plus herbal complexity. A spiced twist (cinnamon) gives warmth. The richness begins to deepen. -
Dry‑Down / Lingering Base:
After the heart settles, the woods, oakmoss, musk, and coumarin become more prominent. The scent becomes smoother, more enveloping. The burn will leave a warm, slightly earthy, slightly sweet woody/musky aura lingering in the room.
Overall Vibe & Use
-
Creates a luxurious and layered fragrance atmosphere — not just spicy or just woody, but with fresh, floral, herbal, and warm woody/musky elements all in interplay.
-
Suitable for evening, special occasions, or whenever you want your home or gathering place to feel rich and inviting.
-
Because of the herbal/citrus top and floral heart, it’s not overly dense from the start — there's breathing space and dynamics.
