What does Bujairami Solenne smell like?
Red berries and citrus make the opening. Red berries are a juicy, slightly tart fruit accord that reads sweeter as it settles, and the citrus beside them adds a light, bright lift. Together they give the first impression a fruity, cheerful edge before the heavier notes arrive.
The heart is praline, cinnamon and iris. Praline brings a toasted, nutty sweetness close to caramelised sugar, and cinnamon adds a warm, dry spice that stops it going flat. Iris is a powdery, root-derived floral with a cool, slightly woody character, so it gives the middle a soft, elegant texture against the sugar.
The base rests on Madagascar vanilla, amber and sandalwood. Madagascar vanilla is a rich, creamy sweetness, amber gives a resinous warmth, and sandalwood adds a smooth, creamy wood underneath. This is the part of the list that carries the gourmand reading, with the amber and sandalwood keeping the finish from turning purely sweet.

Solenne and its closest neighbours
Bujairami Booz shares praline, cinnamon and vanilla with Solenne, so the sweet spiced core is common to both lists. Booz opens on cognac and builds through tonka bean and oak, a boozier and drier path. Solenne starts with red berries and citrus, which gives it a fruity lift Booz lacks, and it carries iris in the heart where Booz has none.
Bujairami Booz Extreme has praline, cinnamon and vanilla in common with Solenne, and both finish on sandalwood. Its opening is cognac alone, and its heart is cinnamon, tonka bean and oak. Solenne swaps that cognac-and-oak start for red berries and citrus and adds iris to the middle, so the two begin in different places despite the shared sweet spice.
Bujairami Dreamscape shares vanilla and amber with Solenne, and its santal flower sits near sandalwood. Its opening is whipped vanilla meringue alone, with no fruit and no citrus, and its heart is santal flower. Solenne has red berries and citrus up top and a praline, cinnamon and iris middle, so Dreamscape is a far simpler and creamier line than this one.
