Yes, people do use bakhoor to scent clothing, but the method should be gentle and controlled. The goal is to expose fabric to fragrant air rather than direct heat or heavy smoke. This is especially important with delicate garments, light fabrics and enclosed wardrobes.
A better way to scent clothing
Let the fragrance move through the room and allow garments to pick up the aroma indirectly. Avoid placing clothing directly over a hot burner or charcoal. Test a less valuable fabric first if you are unsure.
When this works well
Many people like this ritual before a gathering, family visit or special occasion. A warm scent can also pair nicely with perfume when used lightly.

FAQs
Can smoke damage clothes?
Heavy smoke can settle on fabric and may be unpleasant or difficult to remove. Use a light amount and indirect exposure.
Can I put clothes directly above charcoal?
No. Keep fabric away from open flame, hot charcoal and the burner surface.
Will bakhoor replace perfume?
They serve different roles. Bakhoor creates a scented atmosphere and can add a layer to clothing; perfume is designed for direct personal fragrance.
