Sudanese Agarwood Khumra

Khumrah is a traditional sudanese, perfumed oils and dufra ( onycha; roasted seashells lids) are also added as the wood takes on its sticky oil -infused coating.

“The technique generally used to prepare the traditional perfumes is unique. The smoking of ingredients is unusual; you probably have not come across it in any other perfumery techniques if you smell it.
The making of perfumes is an important part of Sudanese wedding rituals. The preparations for the wedding perfumes start about a month before the wedding by the women of the bride’s relatives and friends and it is a skill that is passed on through family members.”
