What does Bujairami Dark Rose Oud smell like?
Saffron opens the scent on its own. It is honeyed and dry, with a faint leathery, metallic quality, and it sets a spiced, slightly animalic start. Nothing else sits at the top, so the saffron is the first thing the list shows.
The heart is black rose, truffle and floral notes. Black rose is a rose accord with a darker edge than a light rose, truffle adds an earthy, mushroom-like muskiness, and the floral notes, which the list does not name, give the middle a soft petal body.
Patchouli, vanilla, oud and oakmoss make the base. Patchouli is earthy and camphorous, vanilla adds a creamy sweetness, oud gives a resinous, smoky-woody depth, and oakmoss a damp, mossy earthiness. Together with the saffron, the base is dark and resinous, and the rose sits inside that frame.
