What does Bujairami Urban Monarch smell like?
Lemon, bergamot and lime open the scent with the bitter-fresh brightness that citrus oils are known for. Lavender and thyme add an herbal edge to the top, which keeps the citrus from turning sweet.
The heart moves toward fruit and white flowers. Apple and blackcurrant give a tart, juicy sweetness, while orange blossom, champaca, jasmine and lily add honeyed petals. Coconut sits among them as a creamy note that softens the fruit.
The base is dry and woody. Juniper berry and birch give a resinous, slightly smoky green wood, cedar and oakmoss add a dry, mossy structure, and pink pepper brings a light spice. Tonka bean, amber and leather round the list off with a warm, dry sweetness, and mate, the leaf of the yerba mate plant, adds a faintly bitter green finish.

Urban Monarch and its closest neighbours
Bujairami Urban Monarch and Bujairami Endless Blue share lemon, bergamot and lime at the top, and lavender and thyme too. The hearts overlap, with apple, blackcurrant, coconut and jasmine in each. Endless Blue's base leans toward grass, galbanum and aniseed, where Urban Monarch's leans toward birch, juniper, tonka bean and leather.
Bujairami Urban Monarch and Bujairami Beast share lemon, bergamot and lime, and Beast adds grapefruit on top. Its heart brings vetiver, cypriol and rose, which Urban Monarch does not list, and its base is ambergris, leather, vanilla and benzoin. Urban Monarch keeps the apple and jasmine heart and ends on juniper and mate, so Beast reads warmer and more resinous, while Urban Monarch reads greener and brighter.
Bujairami Urban Monarch and Bujairami Untamed share bergamot, jasmine and tonka bean. Untamed opens on aldehydes, citrus and tarragon, with a rose, violet and peach heart, and it closes on clove, castoreum, vetiver and cinnamon. Urban Monarch has the brighter lemon, lime and lavender top and the juniper and birch base that Untamed does not list, so the two note lists part ways early.
