What does Bujairami Midnight Jasmine smell like?
The top is a spiced citrus. Mandarin and bergamot give a juicy, bitter-fresh start, while ginger, cinnamon, cardamom and pepper add warmth and a dry, prickly edge. Bergamot is pressed from the peel of a small citrus fruit, and mandarin is softer and sweeter than it.
Jasmine is the centre of the heart, supported by ylang-ylang, which is creamy and faintly banana-like, and neroli, the bitter orange blossom oil that keeps the florals from sitting heavy. Broom adds a green, honeyed note, and clary sage a herbal, nutty tone.
The base is warm and dry. Amber and vanilla make a soft, resinous sweetness, leather brings a smoky dryness, and French labdanum adds a sticky, balsamic resin. Woodsy notes give the base a dry frame, so the sweetness stays in proportion.

How Midnight Jasmine compares with similar scents
Midnight Jasmine and The Ruler share cinnamon, cardamom and pepper, and both carry jasmine and leather. The Ruler opens on cardamom, cinnamon and black pepper, then moves into myrrh, incense, labdanum and jasmine, with an ambery, animalic and vanilla base. This scent has ginger, bergamot and mandarin on top and neroli and ylang-ylang in the heart, so from this side the citrus and white florals are what The Ruler does not list.
Midnight Jasmine and Sultan share cardamom, mandarin and jasmine. Sultan opens on cardamom, nutmeg, saffron, mandarin and neroli, with kulfi, rose, jasmine, mastic and orange blossom in its heart and vanilla, amber, woody notes and sandalwood at the base. This scent has ginger, cinnamon and bergamot at the top, where Sultan has nutmeg and saffron, and it has no kulfi, rose or mastic.
Midnight Jasmine and Purple Vine share bergamot, mandarin and jasmine. Purple Vine opens on rum, honey, mandarin and bergamot and carries a long floral heart of black orchid, orchid, heliotrope, hyacinth, rose, narcissus and magnolia. This scent opens on spices and ginger rather than rum and honey, and its heart is much shorter, so the orchid and rose of Purple Vine are what this scent leaves out.
