What does Bujairami Blue Steel smell like?
The opening is sharp, citrus-led and cool. Fir gives a resinous, green-piney freshness, lemon and orange add zest and juicy brightness, sea and marine notes bring a saline, mineral edge, petitgrain adds a bitter-green orange-leaf character, and cardamom closes the top with a fresh, spicy note.
The heart turns herbal and floral. Rosemary is camphorous and herbal, lily-of-the-valley is a green, dewy white floral, jasmine adds richness, sage gives a dry herbal edge, and rose rounds the middle into something softer. Lily-of-the-valley and rose give the middle a softer, more floral character.
The base is musky, woody and mossy. Musk gives a clean, soft warmth, vetiver adds a grassy, smoky root tone, oakmoss brings a damp, earthy green-brown depth, and Brazilian rosewood and sandalwood add a creamy, rounded wood under it all.
