The Science Behind Bakhoor’s Fragrance...

The captivating aroma of Bakhoor isn’t just a product of its rich ingredients—it’s the result of fascinating chemistry at work. When Bakhoor is gently heated, the essential oils and resins within the agarwood begin to react to the heat, releasing complex aromatic compounds such as sesquiterpenes. These compounds are what give Bakhoor its deep, lingering scent.

One of the key components, agarospirol, interacts directly with the brain’s olfactory receptors. Studies have shown that this interaction can stimulate feelings of calmness, relaxation, and even euphoria. It’s a sensory experience that bridges the world of tradition with the science of scent.
