What does Bujairami Vice smell like?
The opening mixes three kinds of sharpness. Kumquat is a small citrus with a tart, faintly sweet peel, mandarin softens it with a rounder sweetness, and ginger and pink pepper add a warm, prickly spice on top. Together they make a lively, spiced start.
The heart is green and herbal. Lavender is clean and slightly camphorous, rosemary is sharp and resinous with a dry edge, and geranium gives a rosy, minty green note. The lavender and rosemary pair gives the middle an aromatic character that the opening does not have.
The base is earthy and warm. Vetiver is smoky and root-like, patchouli is dark and earthy, and benzoin is a sweet, balsamic resin that softens the other two. The list closes on this base, so the earthy side has the final say in the scent.
