Light
up a piece of charcoal and place in in a mabkhar, or an incense burner.
Alternatively you could use an electric burner for which you won't need a coal,
but generally they do not heat up enough to fully bring out the resin from the
wood.
The
best sort of of charcoal to use are bamboo incense charcoals, which are
fragrance-free and are made without saltpeter or sulphur.
After
the charcoal has burnt for approximately 10 minutes, a thin layer of ash will
have formed on top of it. Do not brush this off.
Now
place a small oud chip, about the size of a cardamom pod, on top of the
charcoal. The thin layer of ash will ensure that the wood itself does not burn
too much - rather the resin inside will heat up.
In
a few seconds, you will see that the color of the wood starts to become darker,
and the surface starts bubbling. This is the resin being released due to the
heat, and some smoke will start to rise now.
You
can scent your beard, clothes and neck with the smoke. Be sure not to let your
clothes get singed by the burning charcoal!

Put the oud chip aside once the smoke stops rising from it. Do not flip the chip. While you may notice that more smoke is emitted by doing so, it will have a harsh smoky smell that pricks the nose instead of the sweet woody smell you want to scent yourself with.

The
smell of smoke will fade soon, and what you will be left with is a spicy,
sweet, woody smell that will keep you company for days, and will be the
curiosity in the minds of those you meet.
