Where to Buy Bakhoor and Bakhoor Burners in South Africa
The quickest place to buy bakhoor and bakhoor burners in South Africa is Cii Stores: walk in at Ormonde Shopping Centre in Johannesburg, or order online for courier delivery to Durban, Cape Town and anywhere else in the country. Loose bakhoor starts at R40, a complete starter kit is R399, and we stock charcoal, electric and rechargeable burners side by side so you can compare them in one place.
This guide covers where to buy, what to check before you pay, which burner suits you, and what our customers in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town have said after their bakhoor arrived. If you want the deeper background on types and grades, read our bakhoor buying guide.
Where Can You Buy Bakhoor in South Africa?
Bakhoor is sold mainly by specialist Islamic retailers and fragrance shops rather than general chain stores, so the reliable options are a dedicated store you can visit or an online retailer that ships nationwide. Cii Stores is both: an Islamic department store with a physical shop in Johannesburg and an online store that delivers across South Africa.
Buying from a store that carries the whole setup matters more than it sounds. Bakhoor needs a heat source (charcoal or an electric burner), and a shop that only sells one piece leaves you searching again for the rest. At Cii you can get the bakhoor, the burner, the charcoal and the tongs in one order. Browse the full bakhoor collection and the bakhoor burners collection.
Where to Buy Bakhoor in Johannesburg
In Johannesburg, visit Cii Stores at Shop No.4, Ormonde Shopping Centre, 18 Crownwood Road, Ormonde. We are open every day from 9:00 to 17:00, closed on Friday from 12:00 to 14:00 for Jumuah. In store you can smell the Amaani bakhoor range before you choose and see every burner at its real size, which helps if you are deciding between a palm-sized mini burner and a statement piece for the lounge.
Shoppers have known the store for years. One Google reviewer described it as "a well-known spot in Johannesburg for a wide range of Islamic products and essentials, all under one roof."

What Should You Check Before You Buy Bakhoor?
Check four things: what the bakhoor is made of, how it is meant to be burned, whether you already own the right heat source, and whether you can smell or read a clear scent profile before buying.
- Wood and oil, not just perfume. Good bakhoor is wood chips or a wood-based blend soaked in fragrance oils, so the scent comes off slowly as it heats rather than flashing off at once.
- How it burns. Loose bakhoor and wood chips go on a glowing charcoal disc or an electric burner. Self-lighting oud bricks are lit directly and need neither. Buying the wrong format for your burner is the most common mistake.
- The heat source. If you have no burner yet, a kit saves you a second order.
- A clear scent description. Every Amaani bakhoor on our site lists what you smell as it lights and as it settles, so you can choose fresh, floral, warm or deep oud without guessing.
The Best Bakhoor Set to Start With
For most first-time buyers, the answer is the Sakinah Bakhoor Burner Kit, our best-selling bakhoor set. It is a complete charcoal setup in one gift box: a bakhoor burner, quick-light charcoal, safe-handling tongs and six Amaani bakhoor samples, so you can find the scent you like before buying a full pack. There are five burner designs, each in black or white, and at R399 it is also one of the most popular bakhoor gifts we sell.
To use it, light a charcoal disc with the tongs, wait until it turns grey-white, then place a small piece of bakhoor on top. A pinch is enough to scent a room.
The Amaani Bakhoor Range
Amaani is one of the bakhoor brands we stock, and its Gold Collection loose bakhoor is R40 a pack. Each one burns on charcoal or an electric burner, and the five scents cover very different moods:
If you would rather skip charcoal entirely, Amaani Oud Bricks are self-lighting. You light a brick directly and rest it in the glass holder that comes with the set, and each brick burns for about 30 minutes. Once you own the holder, refill packs are R399. Do not put oud bricks in an electric burner: they are made to be lit, not heated.

Which Bakhoor Burner Should You Buy?
Choose a charcoal burner for the traditional, strongest scent, an electric burner if you want no flame or charcoal, and a rechargeable burner if you want to carry it from room to room. Here is how the burners we stock compare:
| Burner type | How it heats | Needs charcoal? | Price at Cii |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mini charcoal burner | Charcoal disc | Yes | From R99 |
| Traditional charcoal burner | Charcoal disc | Yes | R250 to R999 |
| Plug-in electric burner | Heated plate, mains power | No | R750 |
| Rechargeable electric burner | Heated plate, battery, USB-C | No | R750 to R999 |
| Quran speaker with bakhoor burner | Electric burner plus full Quran audio | No | R799 |
Charcoal bakhoor burners
Charcoal gives the fullest smoke and the most traditional burn. Pair any of these with a pack of quick-light charcoal.
Electric and rechargeable bakhoor burners
Electric burners warm loose bakhoor on a heated plate, with no flame and no charcoal ash. Note that electrical items are sold without refund or exchange.
