What does Bujairami Exceptional smell like?
Peony, litchi and freesia make the opening. Peony is a soft, dewy floral with a green edge, litchi is a sweet, juicy fruit with a rose-like perfume, and freesia is a bright, slightly fruity white flower. Together they make a glossy, fruit-tinged top that stays on the floral side.
Rose and magnolia form the heart. Rose is one of the most used flowers in perfumery, and magnolia is a creamy, waxy white flower that rounds the rose off. Both are florals, so the middle carries the bouquet on rather than shifting into wood.
The base is Virginia cedar and amber. Virginia cedar is a dry, pencil-like woody material that gives structure, and amber adds a soft, warm resinous sweetness. The wood at the bottom gives the floral heart something to rest on.
