What does Bujairami Ocean Waves smell like?
Salt and mandarin open the scent. Salt usually appears as an accord in perfumery, a mineral, sea-air effect rather than a single raw material, and it lifts the citrus. Mandarin is a softer, sweeter citrus than bergamot, so it keeps the opening bright without much bite.
The heart brings marine notes, which in most modern perfumes are an accord of synthetic molecules that smell of wet stone, water and air. Leather adds a dry, smoky backdrop with a faint animal warmth, and jasmine a white, warm floral sweetness that keeps the leather from turning harsh.
The base is amber, benzoin, patchouli and musk. Amber in perfumery is a warm, resinous sweetness, benzoin a vanilla-like balsam, patchouli an earthy, dark tone, and musk a soft, skin-like warmth that holds the structure together.
