What does Bujairami Madness smell like?
Nine notes, no tiers: that is how the brand publishes Bujairami Madness, and this guide keeps to that instead of inventing a top, heart and base. The notes do fall into groups. Oud, incense and birch are the dark ones. Oud is resinous agarwood, leathery and deep. Incense, meaning frankincense, is a cool, lemony-peppery resin smoke. Birch in perfumery usually refers to birch tar, the smoky, tarry material behind most leather accords.
Against that smoke the list sets a flower and a fruit. Rose is the classic partner of oud, a pairing with a long history in Middle Eastern perfumery, because the sweetness of the flower and the animal depth of the wood sharpen each other. Geranium has a scent like a greener, mintier rose and is often used to extend one. Raspberry brings a tart, jammy red-fruit note that lightens the whole.
Saffron, benzoin and amberwood finish the picture. Saffron is leathery and slightly medicinal, with a dry, hay-like warmth. Benzoin is a sweet balsamic resin close to vanilla. Amberwood is a modern woody-amber material, dry and mineral-warm. Putting the groups together, this guide sorts Madness as oriental, floral and woody.

This is the guide's own wording of the family and notes, not a test.
Who Madness suits
The brand's tag for Bujairami Madness is for him. Three families come out of the nine notes when this guide sorts them, oriental, floral and woody, and that sorting is the guide's own. Madness is an eau de parfum, the lighter of the two types in the range. Its note list is untiered: nine names in one line, with no word on which belong to the top and which to the base.

Madness and its closest neighbours
All nine Madness notes have a counterpart in Mad Love's pyramid, which also lists suede leather and musk and arranges everything in three tiers. Mad Love is an extrait de parfum; Madness is an eau de parfum with an untiered list.
Saffron, rose, incense and oud: four of the five notes in Bujairami Breathless are on the Bujairami Madness list too, and amber is the fifth. What Breathless leaves out is the fruit and the smoke of birch, along with geranium, benzoin and amberwood. It reads as the pared-down rose-oud, and it is an extrait de parfum.
Bujairami Ya Habibi shares oud, rose, saffron and incense (listed there as frankincense) with Bujairami Madness, then heads somewhere sweeter. It opens with cinnamon, mandarin and bergamot, adds jasmine, and ends on amber, sandalwood, vanilla and musk. Madness has no citrus or vanilla; its extras are raspberry, birch, geranium and benzoin.
