What does Bujairami Riverina smell like?
Pomelo is the first note of Bujairami Riverina. It is the largest of the citrus fruits and has a scent like a gentler grapefruit, less bitter and a little sweeter. Two spices come with it. Ginger is the fresh one, peppery and lemony. Nutmeg is warm, dry and slightly woody, a spice that already looks towards the base.
The heart has a note that deserves a closer look. Cassis buds are the leaf buds of the blackcurrant bush, and their extract is one of the most distinctive green materials in perfumery: sharp, fruity, leafy, with a pungent edge that the ripe berry does not have. Magnolia softens it with a creamy, lemon-tinted floral tone. Cedar is dry and clean, a wood without sweetness.
Three notes make the base. Vetiver is a grass root, earthy and bitter. Guaiacwood comes from a South American tree and smells smooth, smoky and a little sweet, somewhere between wood and tea. Amber is the warm accord that ties them together and accounts for the oriental half of this guide's sorting. Citrus and spice above, cedar, vetiver and guaiacwood below: Riverina is a wood scent with a bright start.

How Riverina compares with similar scents
Bujairami Dominus shares four notes with Bujairami Riverina: pomelo, ginger, vetiver and amber. It is the fruitier list, adding pineapple, mandarin and mango. Riverina keeps one fruit, the pomelo, and fills the space with nutmeg, cassis buds, magnolia, cedar and guaiacwood. Dominus is an eau de parfum; Riverina is an extrait.
Bujairami Vibration also has ginger, magnolia, cedar and amber, but orders them differently: magnolia sits on top with grapefruit, bergamot and jasmine, and ginger is its single heart note. Its base adds musk, orris root and patchouli. Bujairami Riverina has pomelo for citrus, nutmeg and cassis buds for bite, and vetiver and guaiacwood in the base.
Bujairami The Hype is a six-note eau de parfum: saffron and spices, tobacco and cedar, amber and vanilla. Cedar and amber are in Bujairami Riverina too, and its general “spices” answers to Riverina's ginger and nutmeg. There the overlap ends. Riverina has no tobacco, saffron or vanilla, and The Hype has no citrus, no flower and no vetiver.
