What does Bujairami Hot Rod smell like?
Six materials crowd the top of Bujairami Hot Rod, and four of them are green or herbal. Lemon and grapefruit give the sharp citrus frame. Mint is cool, basil is peppery and sweet, and tarragon adds an anise-like, grassy edge. Blackcurrant sits in the middle of it as a tart, slightly sulphurous berry.
The heart has six names too. Orange blossom and jasmine are the white flowers, honeyed and heavy. Clary sage is herbal and faintly musky, shiso is a minty, basil-like leaf from Japanese cooking, coriander is citrusy and spicy, and black pepper is dry and hot. Flowers and kitchen herbs share the tier, which keeps it from being purely floral.
The base is musk, vetiver, amber, labdanum and civet. Musk is soft and skin-like, vetiver grassy and smoky, amber warm and sweet, and labdanum a leathery resin. Civet is an animalic note, warm and slightly dirty, and in perfumery it is usually a trace that adds depth to the flowers above it.
