How to use

Light up a charcoal and place it in an incense burner.

Then put a little piece of frankincense onto the hot coal and let it perfume the room. You can also make a fumigation, perfuming yourself and your clothes with it; to do that just take the bakhoor burner next to you for 30 to 60 seconds.
