Yemeni Bahkoor

My  item I own is  Bahkoor a traditional incense that is commonly used in Yemen and other parts of the Middle East.  I chose it because it reminds me of my country It is made from a blend of natural ingredients, including wood chips, resins, and essential oils, and is often shaped into small pellets or cones. Bahkoor is typically burned on a small charcoal disk or on an incense burner, which allows the fragrant smoke to fill a room or space. Bahkoor is often used during religious ceremonies and other special occasions and is also used in homes and businesses as a way to freshen the air and create a welcoming atmosphere., we use it at weddings and before visitors arrive at the house because it makes the house smell elegant. Known for awakening the senses, Oud chips are wrapped in cleanness. Yemeni culture believes smoke is an important part of social events at the nature center. In Yemen, smoke is used to perfume clothes and homes and purify the air. Also, it is used during weddings and other social events.
