What does Bujairami Vintage Bloom smell like?
Bujairami Vintage Bloom opens on a small, fresh trio. Pear is juicy and mild. Mandarin is the sweet, gentle citrus. Ginger in perfumery usually smells of the fresh root: lemony, peppery, a clean heat. None of the three is heavy; they are there to lighten what comes next.
What comes next is four white flowers and nothing else. Tuberose is the richest of the family: creamy, buttery, sweet, with a green, almost rubbery snap when fresh. Night blooming jasmine is, strictly, not a jasmine but a shrub of the nightshade family whose flowers release a heady, sweet scent after dark; the name points to a dense, narcotic floral. Jasmine sambac is the tea jasmine, fruitier and greener, with an animal warmth. Orange blossom is honeyed and bright. A heart made only of white flowers is as direct as a floral list gets.
The base takes an unexpected turn. Patchouli is earthy and dark, moss is damp and forest-like, and together they give the dry, shaded ground of a chypre. Coconut is the surprise: milky, creamy, slightly sweet. It links back to tuberose, whose natural scent has a creamy, coconut-like nuance of its own. This guide places the scent under floral and woody, the second label resting on patchouli and moss.

How Vintage Bloom compares with similar scents
Mandarin, jasmine and orange blossom are what Bujairami Vintage Bloom and Bujairami Red Eclipse have in common. Red Eclipse adds raspberry and freesia and finishes on akigalawood, amber and vanilla, a sweeter ending. Vintage Bloom is the heavier floral on paper, with tuberose and two jasmines, and it ends on patchouli, moss and coconut. One is an eau de parfum, the other, Vintage Bloom, an extrait.
Bujairami Executor shares pear, jasmine and orange blossom with Bujairami Vintage Bloom, and both are extraits. Executor names Arabian jasmine and builds its base from amberwood, sandalwood, vanilla, ambrofix and musk: smooth, woody, a little sweet. Vintage Bloom has no vanilla or musk; it has ginger and mandarin on top, tuberose in the heart and an earthy base with coconut.
Ginger, jasmine and patchouli connect Bujairami Vintage Bloom with Bujairami Vibration. Vibration is the fresher and drier list: grapefruit, bergamot and magnolia on top with the jasmine, ginger alone in the heart, then musk, cedar, orris root and amber. In Vintage Bloom ginger is a top note and the heart is given over entirely to white flowers. Both are extraits de parfum.
