Following the traditional Arabic way of creating scent and aroma, A4M Group has created the Dukhoon+, a sustainable scent diffuser that creates aromas by burning natural wood chips, like agarwood, using charcoal inside a stone or metallic burner.
The Dukhoon+ has recently been awarded a 2023 Green Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
It is a natural way to create room fragrance, personal perfume, or even aroma therapy.
Though the designers love the pure ingredients of the traditional Arabic ritual, it is quite time-consuming, and the charcoal causes accidents.
The Dukhoon+ offers fragrance, created directly from natural ingredients, and eliminates the resources needed to process man-made aromas and perfumes.
Secondly, compared to the traditional Arabic ritual, the Dukhoon+ prevents burn accidents, requires less fragrant material, and operates on electricity (and potentially renewable energy) instead of charcoal.
When you open the lid, you see the heating chamber. This is a unique chamber with a customized heating element.
Air pulses around the heating chamber and pulls the aroma out. In order to create a scent or perfume, simply place agarwood or another scented wood into the insulated heating chamber.
Double-click the power button. And that’s it.
The scented smoke will come out within seconds. Direct it towards your hair, or clothes, or leave it standing on the table.
