What does Bujairami Wild Card smell like?
The top is mandarin and tomato. Mandarin is a soft, sweet citrus with a juicy edge, and tomato in perfumery is usually a green, leafy, faintly savoury note rather than a fruit. Together they open the scent with a bright, slightly unusual green-citrus character.
The heart and base carry sage, patchouli, iris and leather. Sage is dry, herbal and slightly camphoric, patchouli adds an earthy, dark woodiness, iris gives a powdery, cool root note, and leather a smoky, dry warmth. The list is short, so each of these four notes has room to be noticed.
Who Wild Card suits
The brand tags Wild Card for him and gives no size for it. This guide files it in the citrus family, a sorting it makes from the notes and not one the brand provides, because mandarin leads the list. It is an eau de parfum. Six notes in three tiers make a compact scent, and the sorting follows the bright opening rather than the leather at the bottom.

Bujairami Ace shares sage and patchouli with Bujairami Wild Card, but it is a much fuller composition, with red apple and cardamom on top and a tobacco and Haitian vetiver base. Bujairami The Joker has sage in common, with bergamot on top and ambergris beneath, so the two sit far apart in structure. Bujairami Gambit also shares sage, and it opens on mineral notes, violet leaf and salt.

How Wild Card compares with similar scents
Bujairami Wild Card and Bujairami Ace share sage and patchouli, though Ace keeps the patchouli in its base and Wild Card keeps it in the heart. Wild Card opens on mandarin and tomato, where Ace opens on red apple, cardamom and Calabrian bergamot. Ace's base of tobacco leaf, patchouli and Haitian vetiver is darker than the iris and leather that Wild Card closes on, so the two finish in different places.
Bujairami Wild Card and Bujairami The Joker have sage in common and little else. The Joker lists bergamot on top, sage in the heart and ambergris in the base, three notes in all. Wild Card has mandarin and tomato on top, sage and patchouli in the heart, and iris and leather at the base, so it is a longer list with more green and leather than The Joker.
Bujairami Wild Card and Bujairami Gambit share sage, and Gambit also has ginger, which Wild Card lacks. Gambit opens on mineral notes, violet leaf and salt, and its base is woody notes alone. Wild Card opens on mandarin and tomato, so the start of Gambit is cooler and more saline, while Wild Card carries leather and patchouli into the drydown.
