What does Bujairami Sweet Opal smell like?
The top is fruity and sweet. Cherry and strawberry give a red, juicy fruitiness, pineapple adds a tropical brightness, and mandarin a soft citrus edge. Four fruits and no green note make the opening sweet from the start.
The heart is where the list turns from fruit to something toasted. Popcorn is a warm, buttery, faintly salty note meant to recall the snack, and caramel adds a cooked sugar sweetness that goes with it. Rose, jasmine and violet then bring a floral layer over the top, so the middle is part toasted and part flower.
The base is patchouli, musk and amber. Patchouli gives an earthy, dark depth that stops the sweetness from thinning out, musk gives a soft, skin-like warmth, and amber a resinous sweetness. The base keeps the scent grounded, so the fruit and caramel are not the last things on the list.

How Sweet Opal compares with similar scents
Eclipse shares mandarin, caramel and rose with Sweet Opal, and its list has the same twelve notes in three tiers. Its top is patchouli, Calabrian bergamot, mandarin and lemon, a citrus opening where Sweet Opal opens on cherry and strawberry. Its heart is rose, iris, jasmine sambac, Atlas cedar and violet, and its base is caramel, amber and musk, so caramel is the bridge between the two lists.
Rosalie shares mandarin, rose and jasmine with Sweet Opal and comes from the same stated house. Its top is a long citrus row of pink pepper, blood orange, sweet orange, mandarin, Calabrian bergamot and lemon, with no cherry or strawberry. Its heart is Grasse rose, damask rose and jasmine leaf, and its base is patchouli and palisander rosewood, so it has no caramel, popcorn or musk.
Infinite shares rose, patchouli and amber with Sweet Opal and comes from the same stated house. It is the shortest list of the three, with one note at the top, one in the heart and two in the base. Sweet Opal's rose sits in the heart beside jasmine and violet, while Infinite's rose is its only top note, and Infinite has no fruit or caramel to go with its patchouli.
