What does Bujairami Australian Tonka smell like?
The top is anise blossoms, bergamot, rum and pink pepper. Anise gives a sweet, liquorice-like warmth, bergamot is the bitter-fresh citrus that keeps the opening clean, rum adds a dark, sugared, boozy note, and pink pepper a light, fruity spice. It is a sweet-spiced start with citrus at its edge.
The heart is frangipani, a creamy, slightly coconut-like white floral, with Italian mandarin for sweetness, lavender for a herbal edge, and dry amber for a resinous warmth. Lavender is the note that stops the heart from becoming purely sweet.
The base is the warm part. Tonka bean is sweet, with an almond and hay-like character, and benzoin is a soft balsamic resin. White sandalwood is creamy and milder than the Indian wood, and cocoa beans are bitter, roasted and dry. Tonka and cocoa together give a dry, gourmand finish.
Who Australian Tonka suits
Bujairami Australian Tonka is tagged for both men and women. This guide files it under oriental, gourmand and citrus, which is its own reading of a twelve-note list, not a label from the brand. It is an eau de parfum, the lighter of the two concentrations, in one 100 ml size. The list has three tiers, and the tonka and cocoa base gives it the gourmand side of its sorting.

Bujairami Australian Tonka next to similar scents
Latte Obsession opens on pink pepper, cinnamon, bergamot and mandarin. Bujairami Australian Tonka shares bergamot and pink pepper with that opening, and its anise and rum have no counterpart there. Latte Obsession's heart goes to caffè latte, lavender, Turkish rose and cypriol, where this scent goes to frangipani and dry amber. Its base of chocolate, musk, sandalwood and cedar is a coffee-and-cocoa finish.
Scorched opens on sweet cherry, red mandarin, bergamot, almond and pink pepper. Bujairami Australian Tonka shares bergamot and pink pepper with it, and rum, which sits in the top here and in the base of Scorched. Its heart holds milk, tonka bean, Peru balsam and Spanish labdanum, and its base adds oud, ambroxan and vanilla absolute, so it sits further toward dark resin.
50 Shades opens on chocolate and vanilla, then cedar, sandalwood, oud and sugar in the heart. Amber, benzoin and tonka bean close it, and three of its base notes also appear in Bujairami Australian Tonka, in its heart or base. The citrus and spice top of this scent has no counterpart in 50 Shades, which starts sweeter and darker from its first note.
