What does Bujairami Gotham smell like?
Violet leaf gives the opening a green, slightly powdery edge, a note with a cool, leafy character rather than a flower's full sweetness. Blueberry and blackcurrant add a dark, juicy fruit layer, and thyme brings a herbal, savoury bite that keeps the fruit from turning sugary.
The heart turns to cedar, a dry, pencil-like woody material, with jasmine lifting it toward white flowers and cinnamon adding warm spice. Cinnamon is the sharpest of the three, so it sets the tone of this middle section.
The base is the darkest part, with oakmoss, a mossy and earthy material, and patchouli, earthy and camphorous, set against the soft, leathery feel of suede. Amber, vanilla and caramel add a resinous, sweet warmth that rounds the whole scent off.

Gotham compared with three similar Bujairami scents
Bujairami Gotham and Bujairami Manhattan share cedar, jasmine and oakmoss, so their woody heart is close on paper. Manhattan opens on hazelnut and cocoa, a nutty, dark-sweet start, where Gotham opens on violet leaf and blueberry. Gotham also carries suede and patchouli at its base, while Manhattan finishes on ambroxan and caramel.
Bujairami Gotham and Bujairami Fearless share blackcurrant, jasmine and oakmoss, and blackcurrant is a top note in both. Fearless opens on litchi and mandarin and turns to peony and jasmine, while Gotham goes to cedar and cinnamon. The base is where the two part company: Fearless leans on praline, musk and vanilla, and Gotham on suede, patchouli and amber.
Bujairami Gotham and Bujairami Carnival share jasmine, patchouli and caramel. Carnival opens on gardenia and carnation rather than fruit, and carries sea notes and sandalwood through its heart. Gotham's heart is cedar, jasmine and cinnamon, and the base is the closest part: both finish on a sweet, dark mix, with Carnival's coffee and caramel set against Gotham's oakmoss, suede and amber.
