What does Bujairami Asfahan Oud smell like?
Labdanum comes first, and it is a dark, leathery resin from rockrose, with honeyed and balsamic facets that sit between sweet and animalic. Saffron follows with a dry, metallic, slightly leathery spice, and rose softens the spice into a rounded floral. Patchouli, an earthy, camphorous leaf from the mint family, is the material that links the heart to the woody base.
The base is oud, the resinous heartwood of Aquilaria trees, which is smoky, woody and rich. Sandalwood gives it a creamy smoothness and cedar dries it into a clean, pencil-like wood. On paper the drydown is woody and oriental, and it stays close to the labdanum and saffron of the top, so each material is easy to pick out.
