Bakhoor or Bukhoor - an arabic word that translates as 'incense' in English, which is a derivative of the root arabic word Bukhar (meaning steam, vapour and fume). It is a mixture of scents and usually looks like small pieces of coal about the size of your thumb. This sort of scent is used to burn in the home and is a kind of air freshener for rooms and houses.
