What does Bujairami World Power smell like?
Most pyramids put the heavy materials last. Bujairami World Power puts one first. Oud, the dark, leathery, resinous wood that normally anchors a base, is listed as a top note, together with cocoa. Cocoa in perfumery is not milk chocolate: it is dry, dusty and bitter, like the powder in the tin. The pairing announces a dark opening without any citrus or herb to brighten it.
Saffron and rose form the heart, the same duo that accompanies oud in many Middle Eastern compositions. Saffron is leathery and metallic with a dry, honeyed warmth; rose is the full, sweet flower that gives the wood something soft to lean against.
The base has four notes and one surprise. Leather is smoky and animalic, incense cool and resinous, patchouli earthy, with a cocoa-like facet that echoes the top. Blackcurrant is the surprise: a tart, green, sharply fruity note that perfumers nearly always place at the top. Listing it at the bottom mirrors oud at the top, so the whole pyramid reads back to front, dark first and fruit last. With oud, saffron, incense and leather, oriental is the family this guide derives.

How World Power compares with similar scents
Bujairami Breathless has five notes and four of them are in Bujairami World Power: saffron, rose, incense and oud. Its fifth is amber. World Power's extra four are cocoa, leather, patchouli and blackcurrant, so it is the darker and more bitter list of the two, and it places oud at the top where Breathless keeps it in the base.
Leather is what Bujairami Mad Love adds to the common set of saffron, rose, incense and oud, in the form of suede leather, and that brings its overlap with Bujairami World Power to five. Its fruit is raspberry, on top; World Power's is blackcurrant, in the base. Mad Love also lists geranium, birch wood, benzoin balm, amberwood and musk.
Oud, saffron and rose are shared outright with Bujairami Ya Habibi, and its frankincense corresponds to the incense in Bujairami World Power. Otherwise Ya Habibi is the warmer, sweeter list, with cinnamon, mandarin, bergamot, jasmine, amber, sandalwood, vanilla and musk. World Power has no citrus and no vanilla; cocoa and leather take their place.
