What does Bujairami Desert Dates smell like?
Cardamom, clove and mandarin make a bright, spiced opening. Cardamom is aromatic and slightly sweet, clove is warm and sharp with a dental edge, and mandarin softens the spice with a juicy citrus. The top reads as spice first and fruit second.
The heart is the sweet centre of the scent. Sweet sticky dates bring a dried-fruit, caramel-like richness, orange blossom adds a honeyed white floral, and rose gives a soft, rounded body. Dates are the gourmand note here, and the florals keep them from turning heavy.
The base is toasted sesame, dry cedarwood and warm amber resin. Sesame in perfumery reads as a nutty, roasted warmth, cedarwood is dry and pencil-like, and amber resin gives a resinous sweetness that ties the base to the spice and fruit above it.
