What does Bujairami Powdered Kiss smell like?
Sour cherry gives a tart, dark fruit opening. Star anise adds a sweet, liquorice-like spice, and laurels, the leaf, bring a green, slightly bitter herbal edge. The first layer is therefore fruity and sharp, with a spiced sweetness running through it.
Heliotrope and iris form the heart. Heliotrope is an almond and cherry-like powder, a natural partner for the cherry at the top, and iris, often built from orris root, is cool and powdery. Two powdery notes at the centre keep the middle soft rather than fruity.
The base of vanilla, benzoin, musk and patchouli is warm and resinous. Benzoin is a balsamic resin with a vanilla-like sweetness, vanilla is round and creamy, musk is soft and clean, and patchouli is earthy and dark. This is the richest part of the list, and it carries the sweetness that the tart top only suggested.

Powdered Kiss and its closest neighbours
Bujairami Powdered Kiss and Bujairami Very Cherry share cherry, heliotrope and iris. Very Cherry opens on black cherry, bergamot and lemon, a brighter and more citrus-led start than this scent's sour cherry, star anise and laurels. Its heart is patchouli, heliotrope, orris root and jasmine, and its base of vanilla pod and white musk is lighter than the four-part base here.
Bujairami Affectionate shares vanilla, benzoin and musk with this scent. Affectionate opens on caramel and benzoin, where this scent opens on fruit and spice, and its heart of tonka bean and patchouli has no floral in it. Its base adds labdanum to the vanilla, benzoin and musk, so it leans toward a resinous, sweet close.
Bujairami Oohh shares heliotrope, iris and vanilla with this scent, so the powdery centre is in common. Oohh opens on raspberry, geranium and neroli, a fruit-and-floral top, and its heart of tuberose, iris, jasmine sambac and orange blossom is much fuller than this scent's two-note heart. Its base adds caramel, sandalwood, white musk and patchouli to the vanilla and heliotrope, making it the longer base of the two.
