What does Bujairami The One and Only smell like?
Bergamot is a bitter-fresh citrus peel oil, and it usually gives a perfume its first lift. Violet adds a green, powdery floralness that often reads more like leaf than blossom, so the opening is part citrus and part green. Coffee in the heart is roasted and slightly bitter, a dark note that keeps the floral heart from turning simply sweet.
Iris, the material made from orris root, is powdery and cool, and it often works as a soft bridge between violet and patchouli. Patchouli in the base is earthy and camphoraceous, and vanilla rounds that earth into something sweet. Because coffee and vanilla both appear, the gourmand side comes from the lower half of the pyramid rather than from fruit or sugar at the top.
Is The One and Only for you?
This guide sorts The One and Only under floral and gourmand, a split it makes from the notes. The family is this guide's sorting and not a brand label. The brand tags it for her. It is an eau de parfum, and its six materials sit in three tiers, top, heart and base. Coffee and vanilla carry most of the gourmand reading.

The One and Only and its closest neighbours
Bujairami Grounded has lemon at the top, coffee in the heart and patchouli in the base. The two lists overlap on coffee and patchouli and on nothing else. Grounded opens on lemon where The One and Only opens on bergamot and violet, and its heart is coffee alone, while this scent adds iris beside it.
Bujairami Flawless has a longer list: heliotrope, bergamot and neroli at the top, iris, galbanum and orange blossom in the heart, and tonka bean, bourbon vanilla and patchouli at the base. Bergamot, iris and patchouli appear in both lists. The One and Only has six materials to Flawless's nine, and it leaves out the green galbanum and the heliotrope.
Bujairami Why Not? has Calabrian Bergamot and cardamom at the top, Provence Lavender, violet leaf and sage in the heart, and Madagascar Vanilla Absolute, woodleather accord and dual patchouli at the base. Bergamot, violet and patchouli are shared. Why Not? brings lavender and sage into its heart, where this scent keeps coffee and iris. The One and Only has no cardamom and no woodleather accord, so its base reads as plain vanilla and patchouli.
