What does Bujairami Encore smell like?
Cardamom, nutmeg and elemi open Encore. Cardamom is aromatic, slightly camphorous and sweet, nutmeg is warm and woody-spiced, and elemi is a resin with a fresh, lemony-piney edge. The opening is spice first, and the resin gives it a clean outline rather than a sweet one.
The heart is pimento, leather and lavender. Pimento, which is allspice, smells of clove and cinnamon with a peppery warmth. Leather is a dry, slightly smoky accord, and lavender is herbal and cool. The lavender softens the leather, so the middle stays dry rather than heavy.
The base brings vanilla, patchouli, labdanum and rock rose. Vanilla is sweet and round, patchouli is earthy, and labdanum is a leathery, amber-like resin. Rock rose, the cistus plant that yields labdanum, adds a dry, resinous tone. It is the richest tier of the three, and it keeps the scent oriental in feel without any listed oud or amber.

Is Encore for you?
For him and for her by the brand's tag, and one 100 ml size. This guide's own sorting puts it in the oriental family alone, which fits a list built on spice, resin and vanilla. It is an eau de parfum. The base holds four notes, the same count as the heart, so the lower half of the list carries as much weight as the top.
