The review
Al Waad scores 5.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Promise.
Bujairami sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Promise's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Bujairami publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Frédéric Malle Promise is cinnamon and cardamom at first, rose and agarwood (oud) at its heart and sandalwood, cistus and ambrette at the end. Bujairami set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- cinnamon
- cardamom
Heart
- rose
- agarwood (oud)
Base
- sandalwood
- cistus
- ambrette
Cinnamon-dusted rose over oud and sandalwood — warm, spicy and enveloping.
