What does Bujairami Purple Vine smell like?
The top is warm and sweet-sharp. Rum and honey give a dark, boozy sweetness, which the mandarin and bergamot lighten with citrus. Rum here reads as a caramelised, woody sweetness rather than as a drink, and the honey adds a rounded floral warmth to it.
The heart is the densest part of the list, and it is floral. The black orchid and orchid entries give a green, creamy and slightly animalic floral core, supported by jasmine, heliotrope, hyacinth, rose, narcissus, magnolia and orange blossom. Heliotrope adds an almond-cherry powderiness, and narcissus a green, faintly earthy white flower. Each flower is listed on its own, so the heart is a broad bouquet.
The base is resinous and warm. Vanilla and myrrh give a sweet, balsamic depth, suede adds a soft, dry, leathery touch, and sandalwood, peru balsam and labdanum add creamy wood and resin. Together they carry the heart down into the end of the list and account for the oriental side of the family tag.

Bujairami Purple Vine next to similar scents
Bujairami Purple Vine and Bujairami Midnight Jasmine share mandarin, bergamot and jasmine. Midnight Jasmine opens with ginger, cinnamon, cardamom and pepper, which Purple Vine does not list, while Purple Vine has rum and honey where the other has an amber, vanilla and leather base. Purple Vine's nine-flower heart is wider than the broom and ylang-ylang of the other scent.
Against Bujairami Sultan, Bujairami Purple Vine shares mandarin, jasmine and rose. Sultan starts on cardamom, nutmeg and saffron, and its heart carries kulfi, mastic, lentisque and orange blossom over a base of vanilla, amber, woody notes and sandalwood. Purple Vine has no spice in its top and no mastic, but its orchid, heliotrope and labdanum have no match in Sultan's list.
Bujairami The Ruler and Bujairami Purple Vine share jasmine, vanilla and myrrh, the three materials that cross both lists. The Ruler opens on cardamom, cinnamon and black pepper, a spiced top with no fruit, and its heart leans on incense, labdanum and leather. Purple Vine has rum, honey and mandarin up top, and its heart is floral rather than resinous.
