What does Bujairami Vanillera smell like?
Sugar, pink pepper and red apple make the opening. Sugar gives a clean, clear sweetness, pink pepper a dry, bright spice that lifts it, and red apple a juicy, slightly tart fruit that stops the sugar from reading as plain. Nothing in the top is resinous, so the sweetness comes from sugar and fruit alone.
The heart is woody and floral. Cashmere wood is a soft, woody-musky material that smooths the middle, jasmine adds a rich white floral, and lily a fresh, clean flower with a slightly waxy character that sits lighter than the jasmine beside it.
The base is warm and resinous. Vanilla is rounded and creamy, sandalwood gives a smooth, milky wood, and benzoin adds a sweet balsamic resin. Oud, the dark resin of agarwood, brings a smoky depth that is the least sweet part of the list and keeps the vanilla from reading as sugar alone.
