What does Bujairami Young OG smell like?
The two top notes of Bujairami Young OG are not the usual bright pair. Cypress is a green, resinous conifer note, cool and slightly camphoraceous, like needles crushed in the hand. Ginger is zesty and peppery, with a spicy warmth that comes from the root. Neither is a citrus, so the opening feels dry and aromatic rather than juicy, and that suits what follows.
At the heart the list puts coconut next to woody notes. Coconut in perfumery is a creamy, milky and slightly sweet accord, close to the flesh of the nut. The woody notes are given no more precise name, and this guide will not guess at one; they are a general dry, timbered backdrop. Set side by side, the cream and the dryness make a soft, smooth middle, with no flowers at all.
Four materials fill the base. Tonka bean gives almond, hay and a vanilla-like sweetness. Sandalwood is creamy and milky-woody, and it shares a texture with the coconut above it. Amber is the warm, resinous accord. Ambergris, as perfumers use the word, is a salty, warm, skin-like effect. Taken together the base is soft and sweet-woody. This guide sorts the scent into fresh, gourmand and woody: the fresh label comes from the cypress, the gourmand one from coconut and tonka, and the woody one from the sandalwood and the heart notes.

Who wears Young OG

How Young OG compares with similar scents
Four notes link Bujairami Young OG and Bujairami Fairy Dust: coconut, tonka bean, sandalwood and amber. Fairy Dust is much longer, with bourbon vanilla, mango, matcha tea, brown sugar, jasmine, white musk and Peru balsam, and it is far sweeter. Young OG stays with cypress, ginger and woody notes. Both are eau de parfum.
Amber, sandalwood and tonka bean are common to Bujairami Young OG and Bujairami Oud Money. Oud Money opens on spices, has oud and sandalwood in the heart, and adds vanilla and vetiver in the base. Young OG replaces oud with coconut and woody notes and brings cypress and ginger on top. Oud Money is an extrait.
Ginger, amber and woody notes appear in both Bujairami Tempted and Bujairami Young OG. Tempted adds pink pepper and dark berries on top, rose and jasmine in the heart and musk in the base, so it is a floral-fruity list. Young OG goes toward coconut and tonka bean instead. Tempted is an extrait de parfum.
