What does Bujairami Beast smell like?
Grapefruit, lemon, bergamot and lime open with the bitter, bright citrus of the peel, and thyme adds a dry, herbal and slightly medicinal green. The top is sharp and aromatic, a classic citrus-aromatic opening.
Vetiver, juniper berries, blackcurrant, apple, pink pepper, cedar, cypriol, lily-of-the-valley and rose make the heart, nine notes in all. Vetiver is a dry, earthy grass root, juniper a gin-like green berry, and cedar a pencil-dry wood. Blackcurrant and apple add a fruity sweetness, pink pepper a warm, peppery spark, and lily-of-the-valley and rose a soft, clean floral. Cypriol adds more earthy woodiness.
The base is ambergris, leather, vanilla and benzoin. Ambergris, in the clean modern form most perfumery uses, gives a salty, mineral warmth. Leather adds a dry, smoky edge, and vanilla and benzoin a resinous sweetness that softens the woods. The list moves from bright citrus to a green, woody heart and ends warm, leathery and sweet.
