What does Bujairami Luxe Noir smell like?
The opening is rasberry, licorice and black iris. Rasberry is a tart, fruity note, licorice adds a dark, anise-like sweetness, and black iris brings a cool, powdery, slightly earthy quality that reads darker than the florals it belongs to.
Saffron, vetiver and labdanum form the heart. Saffron is a leathery, honeyed spice, vetiver an earthy, smoky root, and labdanum a dark, sticky resin with a leathery warmth. This is where the list turns from fruit to resin.
The base holds sandalwood, amber, oakmoss and oud. Sandalwood is creamy and smooth, amber adds a warm, resinous glow, oakmoss a damp, mossy woodiness, and oud a dark, animalic wood that is often the most distinctive material in an oriental base. Together the base is dense with woods and resins.

Luxe Noir compared with three similar Bujairami scents
Bujairami Luxe Noir and Bujairami Montana share saffron, vetiver and sandalwood. Montana is an extrait de parfum that opens on saffron and black pepper, adds lily-of-the-valley, and builds an oud, tobacco and oakmoss base. Luxe Noir starts on fruit and licorice, so the two begin apart and meet only in the drydown.
Bujairami Luxe Noir and Bujairami Rich Oud share iris, saffron and labdanum. Rich Oud is an eau de parfum that opens on nutmeg, saffron and black pepper, with iris, cedar and labdanum in the heart and oud, leather, sandalwood and patchouli below. Luxe Noir has a rasberry and licorice opening instead, so its top is fruitier and less spiced.
Bujairami Luxe Noir and Bujairami Asfahan Oud share saffron, labdanum and sandalwood. Asfahan Oud opens on labdanum alone, with rose, patchouli and saffron in the heart and oud, sandalwood and cedar at the base. Luxe Noir has no rose; its heart is saffron, vetiver and labdanum, which makes it earthier and more root-like.
