What does Bujairami Lupo smell like?
Bergamot, ginger and black pepper open the list with a bright, bitter-fresh citrus, a warm and peppery spice from the ginger, and a dry bite from the pepper. Bergamot gives the lift, ginger the heat, and pepper the edge that keeps the start from being soft.
The heart is pepper, neroli, petitgrain and timur. Neroli is a green, honeyed, bitter-orange flower, petitgrain adds a dry green twig-like citrus, and timur, the berry of a prickly-ash shrub, gives a tingling citrus-pepper that is unlike black pepper. The second pepper sits beside the first and extends the spice.
The base is akigalawood, labdanum and benzoin. Akigalawood is a woody, dry, faintly ambery material, labdanum is a leathery, sweet-resinous resin from the rockrose, and benzoin gives a balsamic, vanilla-like warmth. Together they form a warm, resinous base that holds the spice in place.
