What does Bujairami Oud Racer smell like?
The opening is spiced and warm. Saffron is a honeyed, leathery spice with a warm bitterness, and cardamom adds an aromatic, slightly camphorous freshness. Indonesian nutmeg is a warm, sweet spice with a dry edge.
The heart turns floral and soft. Osmanthus is a fruity, apricot-like floral with a tea-like depth, Turkish rose is a deep and jammy rose, and jasmine lifts the middle with a white floral sweetness. Between them they make a rich bouquet that sits over the base.
The base is woody, leathery and dry. Leather and oud make the main structure, tonka bean adds a sweet, almond-like warmth, and cedar and patchouli give dry wood and earth. The base holds five of the list's notes, so it is the largest part of the pyramid.
