What does Bujairami Oud and Gold smell like?
Four notes make the top, and they do not agree. Palisander rosewood is a pale, slightly floral and peppery wood. Lavender is aromatic and herbal, clean like soap. Cinnamon is warm and sweet and bark-dry, and apple is crisp and juicy. A sweet spice and a herb beside a fruit and a wood make a top that sets out many directions at once.
The heart is calmer. Rose is the classic floral, here with cedar's pencil-shaving dryness beside it, and lily of the valley, which cannot be extracted and is rebuilt by perfumers as a watery, dewy, green-white floral. The cedar holds the rose in a woody frame, and the lily of the valley lightens it with a cool, clean edge.
Oud, sandalwood, vanilla and amber finish the list. Oud is the dark, resinous heartwood of the agarwood tree, with smoky, medicinal and slightly animal sides. Sandalwood is creamy and smooth, vanilla is cream, and amber is a warm resinous accord. That is a dark and sweet base under a bright start. The guide's sorting names three families, oriental for the spice and the resins, fresh for the lavender and apple, and floral for the rose and lily of the valley.
