What does Bujairami Wildwood smell like?
The top is Guatemalan cardamom alone. Cardamom is a green, camphoraceous spice with a warm, slightly sweet, resinous edge, which makes the first impression aromatic and spiced rather than citrus. With a single top note, the opening is easy to read.
The heart is palo santo, a resinous wood from South America with a sweet, balsamic, lemony-woody smell that is often likened to a soft incense. It links the spice at the top to the dry base. Palo santo is generally a smoother, warmer wood than the cedars below.
The base holds five notes: ambroxan, Atlas cedar, Virginia cedar, iso e super and Haitian vetiver. Ambroxan is dry, ambery and mineral, the cedars give a pencil-shaving dryness, iso e super adds a smooth, velvety woody haze, and Haitian vetiver is a dark, earthy root with a smoky depth. Together the five read as one dry wood.

Is Wildwood for you?
The brand tags Wildwood for him and gives no size for it. This guide places it in the woody family, a sorting it makes from the note list rather than one the brand provides, and the cedars, iso e super and vetiver of the base are the reason. It is an eau de parfum. Seven notes in three tiers, with one cardamom note at the top, make a woody scent with a spiced start.
