What does Bujairami Pillow Talk smell like?
Aldehydes are synthetic molecules that give a bright, sparkling, slightly waxy lift to the first minutes of a fragrance, and here they sit beside lily-of-the-valley and pear. Lily-of-the-valley is a green, dewy floral that perfumers usually build from synthetics, since the flower itself yields no usable oil. Pear adds a juicy, pale fruitiness that keeps the opening soft rather than sharp.
The heart is rose, iris and orange blossom. Rose gives a familiar, rounded floral core. Iris, a powdery floral that comes from orris root, is costly to source, which is why it is valued here. Orange blossom adds a honeyed, slightly bitter sweetness that softens the petals.
The base lists white musk, ambrette and Indonesian patchouli leaf. White musk is a clean, soft musk, ambrette is a seed with a warm, musky and slightly fruity character, and patchouli leaf gives a dry, earthy wood that keeps the florals from floating away. The result is a floral that rests on a warm, skin-like base.
