What does Bujairami Kingpin smell like?
Bergamot and mandarin make a bright citrus opening. Bergamot is bitter and fresh, and mandarin is softer and sweeter, so the start is clear rather than sharp. Violet and jasmine take over the heart. Violet gives a powdery, slightly green floral, and jasmine adds a warm, indolic sweetness that fills the middle.
The base is guaiac wood, patchouli and cardamom. Guaiac wood is a dry, smoky, slightly sweet wood, patchouli adds an earthy, camphorous depth, and cardamom brings a spiced, cool-aromatic lift that keeps the base from feeling heavy. Between them the base is woody and earthy, which gives the flowers something to sit on.
