Irani Abu Fresh Jawi Incense 100g | Dark Benzoin Chunks

Irani Abu Fresh Jawi Incense 100g | Dark Benzoin Chunks Description

AWAFI MILL Irani Abu Fresh is a dark aromatic Jawi incense commercially associated with Black Benzoin.

It is supplied as irregular compact chunks with colours ranging from charcoal-black and dark grey to deep brown. Individual pieces may contain visible cream, beige, pale yellow or amber-coloured inclusions, creating a naturally varied and distinctive appearance.

When gently heated, Irani Abu Fresh releases a warm balsamic fragrance with sweet resinous, vanilla-like and softly woody notes. A subtle smoky depth develops as the material continues to heat.

Traditional charcoal produces a fuller, stronger incense character, while an electric mabkhara provides a smoother and more gradual fragrance release.

Irani Abu Fresh may be burned individually or broken into smaller pieces and combined with aromatic woods, resins and spices to create customised incense blends.

How to Use with Charcoal

1. Place a charcoal disc inside a suitable heat-resistant mabkhara.
2. Ignite the charcoal carefully.
3. Allow the surface to develop a thin grey ash layer.
4. Break off one small piece of Irani Abu Fresh.
5. Place it over the prepared charcoal.
6. Allow the incense to heat gradually and release its fragrance.
7. Add another small piece only when a stronger aroma is required.

Begin with a small quantity because direct charcoal heat produces a concentrated fragrance and visible smoke.

How to Use with an Electric Incense Burner

1. Place one small piece inside the burner dish.
2. Begin with a low or moderate temperature.
3. Allow the incense to warm gradually.
4. Increase the temperature slightly for a stronger fragrance.
5. Switch off the burner after use.
6. Allow the burner dish and remaining material to cool before cleaning.

Lower temperatures highlight the sweeter balsamic notes. Higher temperatures create a deeper and smokier incense character.

How to Break into Smaller Portions

1. Place the required chunk inside a strong sealed bag or mortar.
2. Break it gently into smaller pieces.
3. Select a small portion for the incense burner.
4. Return unused pieces to a tightly closed container.
5. Protect the remaining incense from heat, moisture and strong surrounding fragrances.

Smaller pieces provide better control over fragrance intensity.
