What does Bujairami Al Waad smell like?
Crisp apple accord opens the scent with a bright, green-sweet fruitiness, a constructed impression rather than a single apple. Pink pepper adds dry, fruity spice, rosemary a camphorous and green herb edge, and saffron a leathery, honeyed warmth. Clove brings a warm, sharp spice that holds the top together.
The heart is rose, in two forms. Bulgarian rose is the classic damask rose, sweet and honeyed, and Turkish rose absolute is deeper and more resinous. Together they make the middle a dense, plush floral, which the spices above leave room for.
The base is the darkest part of the list. Patchouli and cypriol are earthy, dark and woody, cypriol being an oil distilled from a sedge root with a smoky, sandy depth. Labdanum adds amber resin, and ambroxan a dry, mineral ambergris warmth. Castoreum, an animal-derived material with a leathery and animalic tone, closes the list and gives the base its most unusual edge.
