What does Bujairami Imperial Blue smell like?
Lemon, chamomile, sage, saffron and marigold open the scent, and each brings something different. Lemon is a bright citrus, chamomile an herbal, slightly apple-like sweetness, sage a dry green note and saffron a warm, leathery spice. Marigold adds a bitter-floral edge that sits between the herbs and the flowers.
The heart is rose, Indian jasmine and magnolia. Rose gives a soft, classical petal note, jasmine a lush white floral, and magnolia a creamy, slightly citrusy floral that links the two. Together they make a full bouquet that sits between the bright top and the darker base.
The base is oud, patchouli and amber. Oud is a resinous, woody material usually associated with agarwood, patchouli adds an earthy, camphorous depth, and amber gives a warm, resinous sweetness. Because the base is the heaviest part of the list, the scent is set up to finish darker than it starts.

Bujairami Imperial Blue and Imperial Oud share saffron, rose and oud, though the two begin differently.

The heart of Imperial Blue is rose, Indian jasmine and magnolia, where the other heart pairs rose with incense. Both end on oud, patchouli and amber, with Imperial Oud adding sandalwood.
Bujairami Imperial Blue shares saffron, rose and jasmine with Powerful Lady, and the two also meet in amber and patchouli at the base. The Powerful Lady list opens on bergamot, citrus fruits and saffron, then runs through rose and jasmine. Imperial Blue puts lemon, chamomile and sage up front, and it adds oud and marigold, which the other list does not list.
Bujairami Imperial Blue and Spiced Honey both carry saffron, rose and oud, but they arrange them differently. Spiced Honey opens on honey and saffron, where Imperial Blue opens on citrus and herbs, and its heart brings spices and oud where Imperial Blue has jasmine and magnolia. The bases overlap in amber and patchouli, and Spiced Honey adds sweet notes where Imperial Blue has oud.
