What does Bujairami Why Not? smell like?
The top is Calabrian bergamot and cardamom. Calabrian bergamot is bright and bitter, the classic citrus opening, and cardamom adds a green, camphoraceous spice that dries the citrus a little. The start is fresh and aromatic, with a clean edge.
The heart brings Provence lavender, violet leaf and sage. Lavender is herbal and soft, violet leaf gives a green, slightly powdery edge, and sage adds a dry, aromatic bite. Together they make the middle one of the more herbal parts of the list.
The base is Madagascar vanilla absolute, woodleather accord and dual patchouli. Vanilla absolute gives a rich, sweet, resinous warmth, woodleather suggests dry wood with a leathery edge, and patchouli adds an earthy, dark depth. The brand's term dual patchouli does not name a single material, so this text reads it as patchouli. The drydown is warmer and more woody than the bright top.
