What does Bujairami Sleek smell like?
Pepper, ginger and cardamom open with warm spice. Pepper is dry and sharp, ginger adds a fresh, peppery heat, and cardamom gives a sweet, resinous aromatic. The start is spicy and slightly sharp, which sets up the florals that follow.
The heart is coconut, gardenia, orange blossom and peony. Coconut adds a creamy, milky sweetness, gardenia a rich, waxy white floral, and orange blossom and peony a soft, rounded petal note. Together they make a lush, creamy middle that is more floral than fruity.
The base is sandalwood, musk and amber. Sandalwood is smooth and creamy, musk gives a soft, clean warmth, and amber adds a resinous glow. The base is warm and resinous in the oriental sense, and it keeps the florals from drifting into sweetness.
Who Sleek suits
Bujairami lists Sleek for him and for her. This guide sorts it as floral and oriental, its own reading of the peony and gardenia in the heart and the amber and musk at the base, with no family from the brand. It is an eau de parfum, and no size is listed. Ten notes sit in three tiers, so the oriental side is clear from the base and the floral side from the heart.

It opens on bergamot, cardamom and saffron, goes into sandalwood, leather and vetiver, and ends on tonka bean, amber and vanilla.
