What does Bujairami Shimmer smell like?
Blackcurrant opens with a dark, juicy fruit that has a tart edge. It is the one note in the top, so the scent starts in a single clear line.
The heart is May rose and freesia. May rose is a classic rose, a named variety prized in perfumery for its soft, fresh and slightly green character. Freesia adds a light, fruity-floral lift with a sweet, airy quality. The base is patchouli and oakmoss. Patchouli is earthy and dark, and oakmoss is a dry, mossy material with a green, slightly bitter close.

How Shimmer compares with similar scents
Bujairami Amoura and Shimmer share blackcurrant, May rose and freesia, which is the whole top and heart of Shimmer. From Shimmer's side, Amoura adds vanilla and ambroxan to its base, along with patchouli and a set of woody notes. Shimmer's base is patchouli and oakmoss only, so Amoura is the warmer and woodier of the two.
Bujairami Ignite Her and Shimmer share blackcurrant and patchouli. From Shimmer's side, Ignite Her swaps the rose and freesia for a single jasmine in the heart, and adds white musk and cedar to the base. Its blackcurrant is listed as syrup, which makes the fruit sweeter than the plain blackcurrant that opens Shimmer. Shimmer has no vanilla and no musk, and that leaves it drier.
Bujairami Rima and Shimmer share blackcurrant, rose and patchouli, so the two have three notes in common. From Shimmer's side, Rima adds rose water and iris to a heart that is otherwise rose-led, and its base has woodsy notes where Shimmer lists oakmoss. Shimmer's freesia is the flower that Rima does not list.
