What does Bujairami 33 smell like?
Sandalwood, Virginia cedar and papyrus form the woody centre. Sandalwood is a creamy, smooth wood and one of the most used materials in perfumery. Virginia cedar is a drier, pencil-like wood, and papyrus is a dry, faintly smoky material with a parchment-like character.
Leather and amber bring the warmer, animal-leaning side. Leather in perfumery is usually built from synthetic materials that suggest suede or hide, and amber is a resinous, warm accord. Cardamom adds a spicy, camphorous lift that keeps the dry wood from feeling flat.
Violet and iris are the floral side. Iris, also called orris, is a powdery, rooty flower, and violet has a soft, slightly green and powdery quality. Alongside sandalwood they make the list soft rather than sharp.
