Al-Afdal Perfumes Swiss Arabian Oud Muattar Sahra



A bakhoor incense bought from Al-Afdal Perfumes on eBay. The image used was of a pack of Swiss Arabian incense called Oud Mauttar Sahra. "Oud Mauttar" mean "old fragrance" and appears to either be another word for bakhoor or another word for agarwood, the fragrant wood which is soaked in perfume to make bakhoor (or bukhoor). Oud by itself is another name for agarwood. What I am thinking here is that this agarwood has been soaked in a Swiss Arabian perfume called "Sahra" which means "bright". 

The eBay advert. I didn't get the box,
I got a plastic bag. 


It is, like the other bakhoor I have tried, very sweet and intensely perfumed. This is a vibrant experience. Quite heady. Quite delicious. Quite intoxicating, romantic, and erotic. This is a very seductive scent, and certainly one to burn to infuse the house before a lover (or potential lover) arrives. While being seductive, it is also alive with energy which it easily transmits. This is potent stuff!

    1. Hi Jack. It's interesting that you emphasis the religious and cultural aspects of incense, while promoting backflow incense burners which have generated health concerns due to the amount of tar they produce, and a backlash among consumers because of the staining, and the foul smell they leave behind.

      I love the idea of backflow, but the filth, the staining, the foul lingering after smell, and the health concerns have turned me off.
