What does Bujairami Royal Spice smell like?
Nutmeg and saffron make the opening. Nutmeg is a warm, slightly sweet spice from the seed of a tropical tree, and it gives the first minutes a rounded, kitchen-like edge. Saffron, the dried stigma of a crocus flower, is leathery and honeyed rather than floral, so the two together read as spice more than sweetness.
The heart is where the praline arrives. Praline adds a nutty, caramelised sweetness, and cedar brings a dry, pencil-like wood that keeps the middle from turning cloying. Akigalawood is listed as a woody material with no further description, and the name tells us no more than that.
The base rests on patchouli, sandalwood and musk. Patchouli is earthy and slightly camphorous, sandalwood is creamy and smooth, and musk lends the whole structure a soft, skin-like finish. Together these materials are what the guide's woody and oriental sorting rests on.

Who Royal Spice suits
