What does Bujairami Masari smell like?
Blood orange, bergamot and lavender open the scent. Blood orange is a sweeter, berry-tinged citrus than the common orange, bergamot adds a bitter-fresh edge, and lavender brings a herbal, slightly camphorous note that keeps the top from turning purely sugary.
Cinnamon, licorice and jasmine form the heart. Cinnamon is warm and spicy, licorice is sweet and faintly anise-like, and jasmine adds a rich white-floral softness. The spice and the anise sit close together, so the middle reads as warm rather than fresh.
The base of caramel, vanilla and musk is the sweetest part of the pyramid. Caramel is a toasted, sugary note, vanilla is creamy and balsamic, and musk gives a soft, warm finish that holds the sugar in place. With no woods or resins listed, the drydown has few dry edges.

How Masari compares with similar scents
Bujairami Masari and Bujairami Casanova share bergamot, lavender and cinnamon. Casanova's heart is honey, cinnamon, cashmeran and jasmine sambac, and its base is tobacco leaf, vanilla and tonka bean, so it is darker and woodier than Masari's caramel and musk base. Masari has no honey, tobacco or tonka, and its top leans on blood orange where Casanova's has lemon.

Masari opens wider, with bergamot and lavender, and carries licorice and vanilla further down.
From Bujairami Masari's side, the overlap with Bujairami Blue Serenade is bergamot, lavender and jasmine. Blue Serenade adds lemon on top and rose in the heart, and its base of sandalwood and patchouli is woodier, where Masari's base is caramel, vanilla and musk.
