Welcome Ramadan into your home with the heady fragrance of bukhoor or incense. Bukhoor are wood chips that have been soaked in perfume oil, and mixed with other natural ingredients such as sandalwood and essential oils. This traditional Middle Eastern incense is often passed among guests so they can imbue the lingering fragrance into their hair, clothes and hands. As you prepare for the month ahead, give your sense of smell an experience to enjoy, too, this Ramadan.
