In an Omani home, the evening truly begins when the majmar is lit and its smoke drifts from room to room, a greeting to guests and a blessing on the house. This set gathers the three heartbeats of that ritual: a burner carved from local wood, frankincense from the Dhofar highlands, and a candle to hold the flame. It all rests in a basket woven from palm fronds, or khoos, a craft Omani women have practiced for generations, splitting and coiling each leaf by hand. The weaving alone can take days, and no two boxes are ever quite the same. Together they turn an ordinary night into the ceremony of welcome that defines Omani hospitality. This is not just incense — it is an invitation to slow down and belong.
