Vietnamese Agarwood Chips

Thin-cut Vietnamese agarwood chips -- pale, densely grained slices of resinous oud wood, cut flat so they catch the coal evenly and release their scent slowly. Vietnamese oud burns sweeter and cleaner than most origins: a soft, slightly fruity smoke with a cool woody heart and none of the sharp barnyard edge found in lower grades.

Burn a few slices on a mabkhara over charcoal or an electric burner. Available now at alhimyan.com -- fast delivery across Dubai and the Emirates.
