What does Bujairami Alpha smell like?
Calabrian bergamot is the bergamot orange grown in Calabria, the southern Italian region that is the main source of bergamot oil. It has a sparkling, slightly green bitterness. Grapefruit adds a sharper, tangy edge, and water notes a clean, mineral and aquatic air. Fig leaf is green, milky and faintly coconut-like, which makes the opening feel dry and fresh rather than sweet.
The heart turns woody and dark. Ambroxan, a modern ambergris-type molecule, gives a dry, mineral and slightly salty warmth. Patchouli adds earthy, dark-green depth, black pepper a dry and woody spice, and violet leaf a green, faintly metallic floral tone. Papyrus is a perfumery name for a dry, woody and slightly smoky material, and the list gives it no more detail.
The base is resinous and soft. Incense brings a smoky, resinous dryness, musk a clean, skin-like veil, and tonka bean a sweet, hay-like warmth that closes the scent. Compared with the bright top, the base is much quieter.
