What does Bujairami Indulgent smell like?
Blackcurrant bud, cardamom and calamus make the top. The blackcurrant bud is greener and more resinous than the ripe berry, cardamom adds a bright, resinous spice, and calamus a dry, slightly bitter root with a woody edge. The opening is spiced and dark rather than sweet, and the rest of the list then softens it.
The heart is vanilla caviar, cocoa bean and osmanthus. Vanilla caviar is a rich, creamy vanilla, cocoa bean a dry, bitter-sweet chocolate, and osmanthus a fruity, apricot-like floral with a tea-like warmth. Together they form a dessert-like middle, though the cocoa keeps it from becoming plain sugar.
The base is Madagascar vanilla, Peru balsam and cistus labdanum. Madagascar vanilla is the classic sweet vanilla, Peru balsam a resinous, sweet and slightly smoky balsam, and labdanum a leathery, amber resin from cistus shrubs. This base is thick and resinous, which makes it the heaviest part of the list.

Indulgent compared with three similar Bujairami scents
Bujairami Indulgent and Scorched share vanilla, Peru balsam and labdanum, which gives both a resinous, vanillic base. Scorched opens on sweet cherry, red mandarin and almond, where Indulgent has blackcurrant bud and cardamom, so its top is fruitier and nuttier. Its heart is milk, tonka bean, Peru balsam and Spanish labdanum, and its base adds oud, rum and benzoin siam to the vanilla absolute.
Bujairami Indulgent and Flare share vanilla and labdanum, and both end on a warm, resinous base. Flare starts on cherry, pink pepper and bergamot, a brighter fruit opening than the blackcurrant bud and cardamom of Indulgent. Its heart is black vanilla husk, heliotrope and orange blossom, where Indulgent uses vanilla caviar, cocoa and osmanthus, and its base adds cashmere wood, white musk, ambroxan and violet.
Bujairami Indulgent and Rendezvous share vanilla and cocoa. Rendezvous opens on pear, ginger and tangerine with black pepper and cocoa, so it begins brighter and spicier than the blackcurrant and calamus here. Its heart is quince chutney, peach, Moroccan jasmine and orange blossom, and its base of Indonesian patchouli, cashmeran, ambroxan and benzoin has no labdanum or Peru balsam.
