Hey Guys!!
As some of you may already know, I am a complete scent junkie!! I love anything that smells good! Perfume, candles, bukhoor, aoud and oils.
I recently went a bit overboard during my last trip to Bath & Body Works. I love their Signature Collection as well as their Slatkin & Co candles & now they’re at 50% off for DSF (Dubai Shopping Festival)!
Below are some of my favorite candles for all you scent lovers and I’ve also included a D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself) guide to making a bukhoor infused candle. I do this all the time and people are constantly begging me to make them one! It smells divine for people who love the Arabic essence.

DIY: Bukhoor Infused Candle:
Step 1)
Choose the candle you would like to mix with bukhoor (I recommend vanilla or amber)
Step 2)
Light your candle for about 1 hour until about half of the candles wax is melted.
Step 3)
Choose the Bukhoor you plan on mixing. Almost any will do.
Step 4)
Crumble the Bukhoor with your fingers and drop it into the hot wax.
Step 5)
Let dry & you’re done!
Simple as that!
Hope you enjoy this! *XOXO*

It’s funny I just came across this because I mixed some bukhoor with my candle because I wanted to switch the vanilla scent up a little and it smelt sooo good! It’s definitely something I’m going to do regularly now.
