What does Bujairami Helou (light) smell like?
The top is grapefruit, lemon and mint with pink pepper. Grapefruit and lemon are bright citrus, mint adds a cool, aromatic lift, and pink pepper gives a sweet, dry spiciness. The opening is cool and sharp, with the citrus leading and the mint and pepper adding edge.
The heart carries ginger, nutmeg, jasmine and Iso E Super. Ginger is warm and fresh, nutmeg adds a rounded spice, and jasmine gives a white floral softness. Iso E Super is a synthetic material with a smooth, woody-ambery character, often used to give a scent a velvety, woody texture.
The base is woody and resinous. Incense, vetiver, cedar, sandalwood, patchouli, labdanum and white musk give a long list of dry, smoky and creamy materials. Incense and labdanum add resin, vetiver an earthy grassy root, and cedar with sandalwood gives a dry, pencil-like and creamy wood, all held together by white musk.
