What does Bujairami Astro smell like?
The top is three citrus notes, and they differ in character. Mandarin is soft and sweet, Sicilian orange is juicy and a little bitter, and Calabrian bergamot is the bitter-fresh citrus that opens many colognes. Together they make a bright, rounded start in which no single note stands out.
The heart is spicy. Pink pepper is light and fruity-dry, plain pepper is sharper and drier, and nutmeg is warm and slightly sweet. Tunisian neroli brings a bitter-orange floral softness, and Guatemalan cardamom adds a green, camphorous spice. Four of the five heart notes are spices, and the fifth is neroli, so this is the most spiced part of the list.
The base is a single note, Java vetiver, a dry, earthy, smoky root with a little sweetness. With nothing else beneath it, the drydown is woody and dry, and the citrus and pepper of the upper layers thin out over it.

Who wears Astro
The brand's tag for Bujairami Astro is for him. This guide places it under citrus and oriental, which is its own sorting of the notes, not a label from the brand. It is an eau de parfum, the lighter of the two concentrations, in one 100 ml size. Nine notes in three layers, with a spiced heart and a single base material, give it a short base and a busy middle.

Bujairami Astro next to similar scents
Bujairami Astro is set against Rizz, an extrait de parfum with grapefruit and lemon on top, cardamom and pepper in the heart, and vetiver with latex accord at the base. Pepper, cardamom and vetiver appear in both lists, but Rizz's citrus is grapefruit and lemon where Astro's is mandarin and bergamot, and its base is led by latex.
Drip is an extrait de parfum with mandarin, orange and bergamot in its list, and nothing recorded in its heart or base. It shares all three citrus notes with the opening of Bujairami Astro, so the difference lies in the rest of the scent. Astro goes on into pepper, nutmeg, cardamom and neroli, then vetiver, while the list for Drip ends at the top.
Boundless is a longer list, with citrus, calabrian bergamot, lemon and pink pepper at the top, then grass, hedione, nutmeg and cardamom. Its base is leather, cedar, iso e super, patchouli and peru balsam. Bujairami Astro has only java vetiver in its base, so Boundless carries the list further into woods and balsam.
