What Are Agarwood Muri Chips?
Agarwood Muri Chips are natural pieces of resinous agarwood, also known as oudh wood, selected for burning as bakhoor and incense. When gently heated, the chips release a warm, woody and smoky aroma with resinous, earthy and softly sweet notes.
Muri is a trade grade used for agarwood pieces chosen for their aroma and resin character. However, agarwood grading is not universal, so colour, shape, resin pattern and fragrance may vary naturally from batch to batch. This variation is normal for genuine botanical material.
Our Agarwood Muri Chips contain no added synthetic fragrance or chemical perfume. They suit personal incense use, traditional ceremonies, home fragrance, gifting and professional bakhoor blending. You can also explore our Agarwood Oil and Oudh collection.

Aroma Profile of Muri Oudh Wood
Opening: Dry wood, gentle smoke and a light green-earthy character.
Heart: Warm resin, deep wood and softly sweet balsamic facets.
Dry-Down: Smooth, smoky and lingering, with subtle earthy undertones.
The exact aroma changes with the individual wood pieces, heating temperature and burner type. Therefore, heating a small chip slowly usually produces a clearer and more balanced fragrance than exposing it to excessive heat.
How Agarwood Muri Chips Are Selected
Agarwood develops when certain trees from the Aquilaria genus form aromatic resin in their wood. Suppliers sort the harvested wood according to factors such as resin formation, aroma, density, appearance and intended use.
For Muri-grade chips, selectors choose practical incense pieces that release a recognisable oudh aroma when heated. Next, they remove unsuitable debris and group the chips into saleable batches. Because this is a natural product, the final pieces may differ in shape, thickness and colour.
International trade in some agarwood species and materials may be regulated. Buyers importing larger quantities should check the rules that apply in their destination country and consult the CITES agarwood information when relevant.
Uses of Agarwood Muri Chips
Bakhoor and Incense Burning
Place a small chip in a suitable electric incense burner or on properly prepared charcoal. As the wood warms, it releases a rich oudh aroma that works well in homes, fragrance rooms and hospitality spaces.
Religious and Ceremonial Fragrance
People across several cultures use agarwood smoke during prayer, gatherings and traditional ceremonies. Its deep woody character helps create a distinctive fragrant atmosphere.
Home and Personal Fragrance
A small amount can fragrance a room, clothing or personal items through gentle fumigation. However, avoid holding fabric too close to heat, flame or concentrated smoke.
Bakhoor Blending
Professional makers can combine small agarwood pieces with resins, woods, floral materials and perfume compositions. For example, Muri chips pair well with sandalwood, rose, saffron, amber-style accords and Ruh Khus Attar.
Luxury Gifting
Agarwood chips make a suitable fragrance gift for oudh enthusiasts, bakhoor users and collectors of natural aromatic materials.
How to Burn Agarwood Muri Chips
Using an Electric Bakhoor Burner
- Place the burner on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
- Add one small chip to the heating plate.
- Start with low heat and allow the aroma to develop gradually.
- Increase the heat only if necessary.
- Switch off the burner after use and allow it to cool fully.
Using Charcoal
- Place the charcoal in a suitable fire-resistant incense burner.
- Light it in a well-ventilated area and wait until the surface develops a light ash layer.
- Place a small agarwood chip on or near the heated charcoal.
- Add more wood only when needed because a small amount can produce a strong aroma.
- Let the charcoal cool completely before disposal.
Safety Note: Burn only in a well-ventilated space. Never leave a hot burner or charcoal unattended. Keep it away from children, pets, curtains and other flammable materials. Avoid inhaling concentrated smoke directly. People with respiratory sensitivity should avoid smoke exposure or seek professional guidance.
