What does Bujairami Solstice smell like?
Grapefruit and Calabrian bergamot make the opening. Grapefruit is bittersweet and juicy with a slightly sour brightness, while Calabrian bergamot is a bitter, fresh citrus with a floral, green edge. Together they start sharp and clean, which is what places the scent in the citrus family.
Marigold is the only heart note, a warm, slightly herbal floral with a honeyed, leafy character. It sits between the citrus opening and a base of benzoin, balsamic notes and patchouli. Benzoin is a sweet, vanilla-like resin, the balsamic notes add a rich warmth, and patchouli is earthy and slightly camphorous, so the finish turns dry and resinous.
