What does Bujairami Cascade smell like?
The opening is green and dry. Rosemary is a herb that smells camphorous, resinous and piney, and pink pepper is a rosy, citrusy spice, less hot than black pepper. Neither is sweet. Together they give an aromatic start that tilts toward the woods below instead of toward fruit.
In the heart stand jasmine, neroli and orris root. Jasmine is heady, sweet and white. Neroli is the steam-distilled oil of the bitter orange flower, greener, lighter and slightly bitter. Orris root is the rhizome of the iris, aged for years, and its smell is powdery, cool, suede-like and faintly of violets and carrots. Orris is expensive and is used to add a refined, dusty softness, and here it makes the two flowers less sugary and more elegant.
Four materials carry the base, all of them dry. Sandalwood is creamy and smooth. Vetiver is smoky, grassy and earthy. Cedar is the dry, pencil-shaving wood. Patchouli is dark, damp and earthy-sweet. A base made of four woods and roots is unusually plain, with no vanilla, amber or musk to soften it, so the flowers of the heart supply the only softness. This guide has not smelled it and cannot report how those layers behave together.
