What does Bujairami Hot Cherry smell like?
The fruit comes first in Bujairami Hot Cherry, and cherry in perfumery is usually an accord rather than a pressed fruit, because the fruit gives little useful oil. It is often built on almond-like benzaldehyde with fruity lactones, which reads as ripe and slightly tart. Saffron sits beside it at the top with a dry, honeyed and faintly metallic edge that keeps the fruit from turning into candy.
The heart darkens. Leather brings a warm, animal-tinged dryness, osmanthus adds an apricot-like floral sweetness with a leathery edge, and apricot and olive round the fruit with a softer, faintly oily tone. Olive tends to read as creamy here rather than sour, which keeps the middle from tipping into jam.
The base is the driest part of the list. Woody notes give a dry, earthy wood, and cypriol and nagarmotha are both aromatic roots from sedge-family plants, adding a rooty, faintly sweet depth. Smoke sits over all of it as a campfire-like haze, and together these give the close a charred, root-and-wood character.
