What does Bujairami Siege smell like?
Bujairami Siege opens with an odd group. Mango is juicy, sweet and tropical, a fruit that perfumers rarely use at the top of a woody list. Bergamot gives the bitter-fresh citrus, and pink pepper adds a rosy, crisp spice. Tomato leaf is the surprising one, with a green, sappy and slightly bitter smell, like crushed vine leaves. Together they make a green, fruity and peppery start.
The heart gives it a floral and aromatic shape. Mango blossom keeps the fruit going, but as a flower, light and green. Lavender is herbal and clean, cyclamen is a watery, dewy white flower that cannot be extracted and is rebuilt from molecules, and star anise brings a liquorice-sweet spice. The result is airy and slightly sweet, with a herbal centre.
Four materials make the base, and they are the darkest of the list. Amber is warm resin, patchouli earthy and damp, oud smoky and medicinal, and suede soft, dry and a little powdery, like fine leather. A top of mango and a base of oud are far apart, and the heart has to bridge them. This guide sorts the scent as oriental, which follows the amber, patchouli, oud and star anise.

Siege compared with three similar Bujairami scents
Bujairami The Aftermath shares amber, bergamot, leather, oud and patchouli with Bujairami Siege, but Siege has suede where The Aftermath has leather. Mango, pink pepper, tomato leaf, mango blossom, lavender, cyclamen and star anise are in Siege only. Both are eau de parfum.
Bergamot, amber, patchouli and oud are in both Bujairami Siege and Bujairami Boss Life, and so is leather in this guide's list. Siege adds the mango, tomato leaf, lavender, cyclamen and star anise, a more fruity and green side. Boss Life is an extrait.
Bujairami Mafia Boss and Bujairami Siege meet at amber, bergamot, leather, oud and patchouli. The fruity and floral materials, mango, mango blossom, cyclamen and tomato leaf, belong to Siege alone. Mafia Boss is an extrait de parfum; Siege is an eau de parfum.
