What does Bujairami Incendia smell like?
The opening is lemon, marine notes and blue ginger. Lemon is a clean, sharp citrus, marine notes are an aquatic, mineral accord rather than a single material, and blue ginger a fresher, greener ginger than the spicy root most people know. Together they give a briny, bright start that reads more like sea air than fruit.
The heart is sandalwood, apple and patchouli. Sandalwood gives a creamy, milky wood, apple a crisp, slightly tart fruit that carries the sea accord onto land, and patchouli an earthy, damp depth. The apple is the one fruit in the middle of the list, which makes it the surprise of the heart.
The base is incense, dry amber and vetiver. Incense is a resin smoke with a dry, slightly sweet smokiness, dry amber a warm, woody resin, and vetiver a root with a smoky, earthy, grassy character. The base is the driest part of the list, so the scent ends on wood and smoke rather than sweetness.

Think dry and woody: Incendia sits in the woody family.

This is the guide's own wording of the family and notes, not a test.

Incendia and its closest neighbours
Bujairami Incendia is close to Ocean Drip in its opening, since both carry lemon and a sea-type accord. Ocean Drip adds water notes, Calabrian bergamot and sage to its top, where Bujairami Incendia has blue ginger. Its heart is sea notes, ambergris and apple, so the apple and the sea accord both carry over. Its base is benzoin, amberwood, vetiver, patchouli and sandalwood.
Bujairami Incendia and X-Men share lemon, marine notes and patchouli. X-Men opens on lemon and lavender, where Incendia has blue ginger, and its heart turns to cypriol, nagarmotha and sea notes rather than apple and sandalwood. Both carry amber, and patchouli sits in the base of X-Men but in the heart of Incendia.
Bujairami Incendia shares sandalwood and patchouli with Burning Ambition, and its base uses frankincense where Incendia uses incense. Burning Ambition's top is black pepper alone, so the citrus and marine opening of Incendia is missing. Its heart is amber, ambergris and woodsy notes, a warmer middle than the apple and sandalwood of Incendia.
