What does Bujairami Flex smell like?
The top holds eight notes, and six of them are spices. Black pepper is dry and biting; cardamom is cool, resinous and faintly citrusy; clove is warm, sweet and medicinal; cinnamon is sweet and warm; star anise carries a liquorice sweetness; ginger is zesty and warm. Bergamot is the only citrus, and watery notes, a generic label for clean, aquatic freshness, sit among them like a splash. The opening is spicy first, with the citrus as a bright edge.
The heart turns sweet and smoky. Dark chocolate smells bitter, cocoa-like and a little roasted. Bourbon vanilla is creamy and dark. Incense is dry resin smoke, and amber is a warm, powdery accord of resins. Chocolate, vanilla and amber make a heart that is plainly gourmand, and the incense keeps it from reading as a dessert.
Four notes close the list. Leather in perfume is a smoky, suede-like or birch-tar material, depending on how it is built. Oud is the dark resinous wood of agarwood, smoky and balsamic. Patchouli is earthy and damp, and woodsy notes is a general label that this guide takes as written. All four are dark and dry, so the list runs from spice, through sweet resin, to leather and wood. That mix explains why this guide files it under oriental, gourmand and woody.
