What does Bujairami Intoxicating smell like?
Whiskey, davana, bergamot and lemon make the top. The whiskey is a boozy, slightly sweet accord rather than a single material, davana a fruity, herbaceous note with a dry, tea-like edge, and bergamot and lemon a bitter, bright citrus lift. The opening is more alcoholic and spiced than most citrus tops.
The heart is oud, caramel, cypriol and nagarmotha. Oud is a dark, resinous wood with an animalic depth, caramel a toasted sweetness, cypriol an earthy, woody sedge with a smoky, slightly sweet character, and nagarmotha a rooty, vetiver-like grass. Caramel stops the heart from turning dry, and the two sedges give it a grounded, earthy weight.
The base is tobacco, amber, vanilla and sandalwood. Tobacco brings a dry, sweet, hay-like leaf, amber a warm resin, vanilla a rounded sweetness, and sandalwood a creamy wood. This base is the sweetest and most enveloping part of the list, so the scent ends softer than its whiskey opening suggests.

Intoxicating compared with three similar Bujairami scents
Bujairami Intoxicating and Crown share bergamot, lemon and amber, and both end on sandalwood and vanilla.

Its heart is labdanum and amber, without the oud and caramel of this scent, and its base adds patchouli and musk.
Bujairami Intoxicating and Boss Life share bergamot, lemon and oud, and both carry tobacco and amber. Boss Life opens on spices, bergamot and lemon, without the whiskey and davana of this scent. Its heart is cedarwood, tobacco and amber, where this one has oud and caramel, and its base of leather, oud and patchouli is leathery where this one is sweet.
Bujairami Intoxicating and Mafia Boss have bergamot, lemon and oud in common, and tobacco and amber sit in both hearts. Mafia Boss opens on spices instead of whiskey and davana, and its heart is tobacco, amber and cedar, without the caramel and cypriol of this scent. Its base of leather, patchouli and agarwood has no vanilla or sandalwood, so the finish is leathery where Intoxicating is sweet.
