What does Bujairami Cinder Kiss smell like?
The top is fruity and sharp before it is anything else. Plum brings a dark, juicy sweetness and apple a crisp green edge, while licorice gives a dry, anise-like darkness under the fruit. Pink pepper and cumin add a small warm prickle, and cumin, earthy and faintly animalic, gives the opening some grit.
The centre is resinous. Labdanum is a leathery, honeyed resin from the rockrose shrub, and it sits well beside amber, which is warm and balsamic. Patchouli adds an earthy, dark tone, and ylang ylang a rich, slightly creamy floral that stops the resin from feeling dry.
The base is where the honey and tobacco come in. Tobacco leaf is sweet, dry and faintly hay-like, and honey with vanilla rounds it toward a pipe-tobacco confection. Sandalwood, musk and cashmere wood give a smooth, creamy wood finish, so the scent moves from fruit to warm, sweet tobacco.
Who Cinder Kiss suits
Bujairami tags this one for him and for her. The guide sorts it under oriental, gourmand and woody, a sorting it makes from the notes alone: the amber, labdanum and tobacco place it in oriental, the honey and vanilla in gourmand, and the sandalwood and cashmere wood in woody. It is an eau de parfum in 100 ml, and the note list is a full three-tier pyramid.

How Cinder Kiss compares with similar scents
Set against Crown, Cinder Kiss shares labdanum, amber and patchouli, and both are eaux de parfum with a resin-led middle. Crown opens on bergamot and lemon and finishes on sandalwood and vanilla, with no honey, tobacco or licorice. Cinder Kiss opens on fruit and spice and ends on tobacco.
From the Cinder Kiss side, Toffe Temptation keeps vanilla and musk and swaps the plum and licorice opening for toffee, coffee and cardamom. Its base leans sweeter, with brown sugar, tonka bean, benzoin and vanilla caviar, where Cinder Kiss keeps honey and tobacco as its dry anchor.
Cinder Kiss and Apex share pink pepper, amber and patchouli, and both open on fruit. Apex is an extrait with tangerine and bergamot on top and nutmeg and cedar in the heart. Cinder Kiss goes the other way, into labdanum, honey and tobacco.
