By the editors · 2 min readBukhara opens with pear and bergamot — quick, juicy brightness that fades fast into something denser. Saffron appears early, threading a dry, slightly metallic warmth through the fruit before the heart fully opens.
Jasmine and apricot arrive together, the floral and the stone-fruit reinforcing each other's softness. Clove and iris add structure, keeping the composition from turning purely confectionary. Benzoin and amber anchor the drydown with a smooth, resinous sweetness that wears close to the skin.
The result sits between an oriental fruity-floral and a spiced amber, with musk finishing things quietly. Warmth-oriented but not heavy, approachable for cooler evenings.
