What does Bujairami My Life smell like?
The opening is lavender, bitter orange and saffron. Lavender is herbal and clean, bitter orange is the peel of the sour Seville-type orange, greener and sharper than sweet orange, and saffron brings a dry, leathery, slightly metallic spice. Together they make an opening that is aromatic before it is fruity.
The heart is amber, cardamom and Ceylon cinnamon. Amber here is a warm, resinous softness that rounds the spices, cardamom adds a camphorous, green-sweet aromatic, and Ceylon cinnamon is the milder, sweeter cinnamon with less of the sharp bite of cassia. This is where the spice is most present in the list, and it gives the scent its warmth.
The base is oud, cypriol, nagarmotha, Atlas cedar and Singapore patchouli. Oud is a dark, resinous wood with an animalic, leathery edge. Cypriol and nagarmotha are earthy, smoky roots from the sedge family, both used to add woody and damp-earth depth. Atlas cedar is dry and pencil-like, and Singapore patchouli reads darker and earthier than most patchouli. The base is the deepest part of the list.

My Life and its closest neighbours
Bujairami Oud and Gold is an eau de parfum with palisander rosewood, lavender, cinnamon and apple at the top, rose, cedar and lily-of-the-valley in the heart, and oud, sandalwood, vanilla and amber at the base. It shares lavender, amber and cinnamon with My Life. Its rosewood and rose lean floral where My Life leans spicy, and My Life's cardamom and saffron have no counterpart in this list.
Bujairami Ventitre is an eau de parfum with bergamot, rose and cardamom at the top, neroli, jasmine, tuberose and ylang-ylang in the heart, and patchouli, cashmere wood, cedar, amber and musk at the base. It shares amber, cardamom and cedar with My Life. Its heart is a white-flower bouquet where My Life's is amber and spice, so the two lists meet mainly in the base and in the cardamom.
Bujairami Gold is an eau de parfum with citrus and ginger at the top, a fruity heart of melon, pear, green apple and spice, and a base of white musk, amber, vanilla and woody notes. It shares orange, amber and cardamom with My Life. Its heart is fruit-led, unlike My Life's amber and spice, and its base has no oud or cypriol.
