Nabeel remains rooted in traditional Arabian perfumery, while continuing to expand into more contemporary scent territory.

What are the most popular Nabeel products?
The Bakhoor Nabeel Incense is a longstanding favourite, blending citrus and saffron with a warm base of sandalwood, amber and precious woods to fill a room with that classic orient feel, and the Oudh Nabeel Bakhoor Incense offers a similar experience in a larger size for anyone burning it regularly. For something lighter and more floral, the Oudh Makh Mikh Bakhoor Incense opens with Orange and Lavender before settling into a woody, resinous base of Amber, Musk and Patchouli, while the Nasaem Air Freshener brings that same floral-woody profile in a quick, convenient spray for everyday home fragrance.

Nabeel has built its reputation over more than 50 years around traditional Khaleeji scent profiles like oud, amber, musk and rose, all crafted at their own manufacturing facility in Sharjah. Their range covers everything from bakhoor and attars to Eau de Parfum sprays, so there's a way into the brand whether you're new to Arabic fragrance or already know exactly what you're after.
How do I use Bakhoor Incense?
How do I use Bakhoor Incense?
Bakhoor is traditionally burned on a hot charcoal disc or in an electric incense burner, known as a mabkhara, with just one or two small chips placed on top to release the scent as smoke, adding more if needed. It's best used in a well-ventilated room, and many people also like to pass the smoke through their hair or clothing, since bakhoor is traditionally used to scent fabric as well as fill a space.
