What does Bujairami Shockwave smell like?
The top is six citrus fruits: lemon, blood orange, grapefruit, lime, Sicilian bergamot and mandarin. Lemon and lime are sharp and clean, blood orange is sweeter and darker, grapefruit adds a bitter edge, and Sicilian bergamot is a smoother, floral citrus. Mandarin softens the lot.
The heart is pink pepper, white amber and blackcurrant. Pink pepper is a dry, peppery spice with a fruity edge, white amber is a soft, warm amber-type material that is lighter than classic amber, and blackcurrant adds a dark, juicy fruit. This middle layer brings spice and a warmer, rounder feel beneath the citrus.
The base is oakmoss, musk and patchouli. Oakmoss is dry, mossy and slightly bitter, musk gives a soft, skin-like warmth, and patchouli brings an earthy, dark, woody note. Those three keep the close dry and green rather than sweet.
