Use & care

How to use Passage products.

A practical guide to lighting the charcoal, warming the oud, refilling the lamp, and storing the tins. Read once and the steps become automatic.

Charcoal

Lighting the charcoal.

01 / Open the tin

Lift one roll at a time. Keep the lid sealed between uses to protect the remaining charcoal from humidity.

02 / Light the edge

Use a sealed-flame lighter or a clean ignition tap. Hold the flame to the edge of the roll until a steady glow runs across the surface.

03 / Place on the mabkhar

Rest the roll on the mesh of the mabkhar with a tong. Add a small piece of oud once the ember is even.

04 / Replace and store

Cool ash should go to a metal bin only. Reseal the tin between uses. Never store charcoal beside a heat source.

Lamp

Refilling the Passage Lamp.

01 / Cool the lamp

Let the lamp cool for at least an hour before opening the cap. The vessel and the wick should be at room temperature.

02 / Pour slowly

Use the funnel provided with the lamp. Fill to the line marked on the inside of the vessel; do not overfill.

03 / Wet the wick

Allow the wick to absorb scent for twenty minutes before lighting. Lighting a dry wick will scorch it.

04 / Light, then extinguish

Light the wick, leave for two to three minutes, then extinguish the flame and replace the cap. The lamp continues to diffuse without an open flame.

Storage

How to store everything.

Charcoal tins

Cool, dry, away from direct sun. Reseal between uses; humidity ruins the burn.

Oud and maamool

Closed tin, room temperature. Do not store next to perfume; oud absorbs ambient scent quickly.

Lamp refills

Upright, capped, away from heat. Refill glass is returnable at any boutique once empty.

Sprays

Upright, capped. Mist on linen and curtains; avoid spraying directly on wood or paper.
