What does Bujairami Last Kingdom smell like?
Ambrette is an unusual note to find first on a list. It comes from the seed of a hibiscus relative and is the best-known plant source of a musky smell: soft, slightly pear-like, a little like warm skin. Most pyramids keep musk for the base, so Bujairami Last Kingdom starts where others end. Pink pepper, the rosy, mildly spicy berry, gives that soft start a brighter edge.
Rose, jasmine and magnolia form the heart. Rose and jasmine are the two flowers perfumery has leaned on longest, one fresh and petal-like, the other heady and sweet. Magnolia is lighter than both, with a lemony, creamy character that keeps the pair from getting heavy.
The base explains the oriental half of this guide's sorting. Oud is the resinous heartwood of the agar tree, dark, leathery and animalic in smell. Cypriol, also called nagarmotha, is distilled from the roots of a sedge; it is smoky, earthy and woody, and perfumers often use it to build or reinforce an oud effect. Benzoin is a balsamic resin with a vanilla-like sweetness that smooths the two. So a pale, musky floral rests on smoke and resin.

Last Kingdom and its closest neighbours
Bujairami Tempted and Bujairami Last Kingdom both set pink pepper above a rose-and-jasmine heart. Tempted adds ginger and dark berries on top and closes on woods, musk and amber, without naming which woods. Last Kingdom names its base precisely, as oud, cypriol and benzoin, and adds magnolia and ambrette. Both are extraits de parfum.
Pink pepper and rose are what Bujairami Red Static has in common with Bujairami Last Kingdom. Red Static is a fruit-and-rose list: cherry on top, Bulgarian and Turkish rose in the heart, red fruits in the base, and no wood at all. Last Kingdom has one rose, two more flowers and a dark resinous base. Red Static is an eau de parfum.
The base is where Bujairami Mad Love meets Bujairami Last Kingdom: oud and benzoin in both, with rose above. Mad Love surrounds them with raspberry, saffron, birch wood, suede leather and incense, a smokier and more leathery set. Last Kingdom has cypriol for smoke and keeps its heart floral, with jasmine and magnolia next to the rose.
