We were absolutely intrigued by the contents of the many heavy wooden boxes.The scent was overpowering.
Our client had given us Arabic perfume in the unmistakable smells and pieces of both oud and bukhoor.
It was all so exotic. But none of us really knew what to do with it. Our Arabic colleagues don't use these in their homes either. I have a medhan at home that hasn't been used. I wouldn't mind trying out the oud. But I wasn't too taken with the particular scent.
So the wooden boxes were carted away to storage, till someone knew where to send it to. Or have another appreciate the scents before the oils dry up.

u can just leave them unused and still enjoy the heady scents? interesting that even arab homes here will not burn them. i guess the smoke and stain gets too much to handle :)
sinlady: the scents are really heavy. so i don't care for this one. might look at other scents. it's quite troublesome to burn though. you're right, alot of smoke and stain.
Oud is not easy to come by right? You're lucky! But I guess the smoke is hard to deal with.
wildgoose: for us, it's easy coz we've so many people going in and out of the middle east till they can tell you what's good!
