What does Bujairami Statement smell like?
Half of the fourteen notes in Bujairami Statement are in the top, and four of those are citrus. Bergamot is bitter-fresh and slightly floral; mandarin is sweet and soft; lemon is sharp and sour; bitter orange, the fruit of the tree that also gives neroli, has a dry, marmalade-like peel. Three aromatic plants stand with them. Lavender is clean and herbal, rosemary piney and cool, and myrtle, a Mediterranean shrub, smells green, fresh and slightly camphorous, somewhere between eucalyptus and bay. Citrus plus aromatic herbs is the formula of eau de cologne, one of the oldest in perfumery.
The heart stays with the orange tree. African orange flower and neroli both come from its blossom, the first name pointing to African-grown blossom in its fuller, sweeter form, the second to the distilled oil, green and a little bitter. Jasmine deepens the white-floral effect. Pittosporum is a shrub whose small flowers smell much like orange blossom with a honeyed, jasmine-like sweetness, so the fourth heart note repeats the theme once more.
The base is light for a base. Amber is the one warm accord. Ambrette is a seed that yields a natural, plant-based musk: soft, slightly pear-like, with a hint of something winey. Angelica, usually the root, is green, earthy and peppery with a musky tone of its own. Nothing here is heavy or sweet, which fits the three families this guide derives from the notes: citrus, fresh and floral.

How Statement compares with similar scents
Jasmine and amber are the two notes Bujairami Statement shares with Bujairami Dirty Money, a four-note extrait of spices, jasmine, leather and amber. Dirty Money is dark and dry where Statement is bright: it has no citrus, no herbs and no orange flower.
Amber is the single note common to Bujairami Statement and Bujairami Oud Money. Oud Money is built from spices, oud, sandalwood, tonka bean, vanilla and vetiver, a warm woody list with nothing citrus in it. Statement is the reverse, fourteen notes of peel, herbs and white flowers.
No note of Bujairami Statement appears in Bujairami Smokilla. Smokilla lists tobacco leaf, spices, vanilla, cocoa, tonka bean, tobacco blossom, dried fruits and woods; Statement lists citrus, lavender, rosemary, myrtle, orange flower, neroli and ambrette. Anyone drawn to Statement for its notes should expect something very different.
