There’s a moment in every Emirati home during Ramadan that feels almost ceremonial. Right after iftar, when the kitchen settles and conversations soften, someone lights the bakhoor. Suddenly, the room shifts. The scent curls around the majlis, the air becomes warmer, stories feel sweeter, and every generation—from the youngest to the eldest—leans into the memory of it all.
Bakhoor isn’t just fragrance. Its identity. It’s hospitality. It’s how the UAE marks moments that matter. And this Ramadan and Eid, more families are returning to this tradition—but with a twist: premium bakhoor burner pieces that look as meaningful as the scent they carry.
At Zenn Casa, we’ve watched this shift unfold firsthand. People want pieces that remind them of the past yet still fit beautifully into modern homes. That’s where the brass bakhoor burner steps in—strong, timeless, stylish, and deeply connected to heritage.
Why Brass Bakhoor Burners Are Returning to the Spotlight
For years, bakhoor was enjoyed mostly for its fragrance. The tool that held it? Functional, sometimes decorative, but not always the star of the table. Today, the trend is different.
People want a bukhoor burner that feels like a keepsake. Something traditional. Something that belongs on the Ramadan coffee table, right beside the dates and gahwa set.
And brass… feels right.
It weighs it.
A story behind it.
A glow that changes with time, just like real traditions do.
Brass burners warm up a space, literally and visually, and they work beautifully with interiors across the UAE—from minimal Dubai apartments to traditional homes in Sharjah and Al Ain.
The Craft Behind Zenn Casa’s Brass Bakhoor Burner Set
One of the most requested Ramadan items this year is our Bakhoor Set — a full bakhoor burner set that UAE customers keep adding to their homes and gifting during Eid.
This set isn’t something you tuck away after use. It’s a centerpiece. The kind of item guests immediately notice without you saying a word. The brass detailing, the handcrafted presence, the steady heat-retaining structure—it feels intentional.
Whether you're burning oud chips, mabkhara-style blends, or your favorite traditional bakhoor blocks, this set holds heat well without feeling flimsy. It’s durable enough for daily Ramadan use and beautiful enough for Eid gatherings.
Pairing Tradition With Decor: The Urali Trend
Here’s something interesting happening in UAE homes: the pairing of bakhoor burners with decorative bowls—especially brass and metal uralis.
Zenn Casa’s Handcrafted Brass Planter Urali (Small) and Metal Handcrafted Decorative Urali Bowl with Stand are often purchased alongside our premium bakhoor burner. And honestly, the combo works.
Urali bowls are traditionally used in South Asian and Middle Eastern households for flowers and floating arrangements, but UAE homes have found new uses for them—entryway décor, Ramadan corners, date-serving displays, and now as companions to bakhoor rituals.
A brass urali next to a premium bakhoor burner creates an atmosphere that’s warm and rooted. It frames the fragrance with visual richness.
Why Brass Matters During Ramadan and Eid
Brass has always been part of regional craftsmanship—from lanterns to coffee pots to incense burners. But beyond aesthetics, brass has a symbolic warmth. It represents gathering, luxury without excess, and the idea that objects can carry memory.
When you light bakhoor in a brass burner, it feels different. The burner slowly warms, the metal reflects a soft gold hue, and the smoke drifts with elegance instead of rushing out. It becomes part of the table ritual, not an accessory.
A modern Ramadan table doesn’t need much. Some dates, a pot of qahwa, a brass bakhoor burner, and the right scent—it’s enough to turn a simple evening into something worth pausing for.
Our Brass Collection
The Brass Nut box is perfect for your coffee table whereas the brass spice box is a good traditional item for your kitchen.
The trend we’re seeing is simple: People want curated traditions. Not overdone. Not overly modern. Something in the middle.
A bakhoor burner set, Dubai shoppers are choosing this season, often has a few things in common:
- Handcrafted look
- Brass or metal base
- Minimal motifs
- A shape inspired by heritage
- Sturdy build for daily use
Zenn Casa’s brass burners and uralis check all these boxes while keeping the aesthetic understated, allowing the fragrance to remain the star.
If you’re preparing your home for Ramadan guests or planning an Eid gifting lineup, a premium bakhoor burner is not just a purchase—it’s a gesture. A way of saying, “You’re welcome here.”
Gifting Brass This Eid
In the UAE, gifting is deeply thoughtful. People prefer pieces that last—functional, beautiful, and tied to tradition.
A bakhoor burner set is one of the most meaningful Eid gifts you can give, especially to newlyweds, new homeowners, or anyone building their own Ramadan rituals. Pair it with oud, a decorative urali bowl, and a handwritten note—simple, but full of heart.
