Bujairami Milky Way

What does Bujairami Milky Way smell like?

Litsea cubeba is a small tree whose berries yield an oil that smells strongly of lemon, with a greener, more candy-like quality than lemon peel. It is a bright note with little of the bitterness of bergamot or the sourness of lemon juice. In Bujairami Milky Way it is listed first, and it is the only entry that is not a sweet one.

Vanilla and tonka bean follow, and the two overlap more than they differ. Vanilla is creamy and rounded; tonka bean adds almond, hay and a faintly coumarin, freshly cut sweetness. Combined, they give the soft, milky body a perfumer wants when the aim is something whose scent recalls warm sweet cream. The lemon-like note sits across it as a clean edge, so the pairing reads as a lemon dessert.

Without tiers, the list gives no order of events. This guide files it under gourmand only, since two of the three notes are plainly dessert-like and the third is a bright accent on them. The brand does not call any of the notes a milk note, so nothing here claims one.

Milky Way and its closest neighbours

Bujairami The Rock Absolutely

Tonka bean and vanilla are shared by Bujairami The Rock Absolutely and Bujairami Milky Way. The Rock Absolutely puts spices on top, tonka bean in the middle and amber with vanilla beneath, so it is warmer and drier. Milky Way swaps the spice for litsea cubeba, and has no amber. Both are eau de parfum.

Bujairami Chubby

Chubby is a five-note extrait: caramel, musk, tonka bean, sandalwood and vanilla. Two of those, tonka bean and vanilla, are the whole of the sweet part of Bujairami Milky Way. Bujairami Chubby adds caramel, musk and wood where Milky Way has a single lemony note, and Chubby is arranged in tiers.

Bujairami Powder Affair

Bujairami Powder Affair lists coconut, powdery notes, musk, tonka bean and vanilla. Bujairami Milky Way overlaps on tonka bean and vanilla, and then goes its own way: it has litsea cubeba where Powder Affair has coconut and a powdery heart. Powder Affair is an extrait with a musk base; Milky Way is an eau de parfum.
