There
are a number of ways that Omanis enjoy the rich aromas found in this region of
the world. Some are natural, like the frankincense whose tree is native to
Oman
and dating back thousands of years. Still other aromas are traditional and
homemade, like bakhoor, and every bit as fragrant as the next containing
numerous natural ingredients combined with luxurious perfumes!
Frankincense
is sold by the kilo and now by the half
kilo and quarter kilo!!. Only Omani grades are listed on the
site.
15% off retail price for a limited time only!!
Myrrh
is sold by the kilo and in small amounts of a mere 100 grams. The Myrrh
sold is from
Yemen
and
India
and Omani Myrrh is also available upon request.
Bakhoor
is usually packaged in one size container. The weight of this container varies
depending upon the ingredients used, however, the price is reflective of the
quality of the ingredients used, not the weight. and
now we will reduce the price by 15% as part of our re-opening celebration!
(Discount applies only to individual containers, not samplers nor accessories.)
So prices may vary from
one bakhoor to the next and not because you are getting more or less but because
of the ingredients within. These bakhoors are homemade and of natural
ingredients, commonly from Dhofar where the incense is famous the world over.
Charcoal,
found in the ‘accessories’ section, is sold only by the kilo when purchasing
natural wood charcoal and only by the box when purchasing the quick light
charcoals. If you are purchasing only one kilo of natural charcoal you
will be shipped one kilo including the weight of the packaging materials,
therefore, you will receive slightly less than one kilo of charcoal.
We
highly recommend purchasing some charcoal for use with your incense. It's
a perfect compliment. And the perfect compliment to the charcoal is the
pot in which to heat it and the tongs to move it around.
All are listed on our site
