Bujairami Non Stop is a Parfum by Bujairami. The notes on record are Citrus, Orange, Apricot, Blackcurrant, Mint, Basil and others. It is tagged citrus, fresh and woody.

How to test them

Ask someone you trust what they notice, because your own nose adapts quickly. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week. Check it after a few minutes, around midday and in the evening. Apply one or two sprays to clean skin, without other scented products nearby.

Start with 2, 5 or 10 ml and give it a few days, so that the first impression is not the only one. A sample earns its place when you reach for it again without planning to. With 2, 5 or 10 ml in a glass spray vial you can find out how it behaves on your skin, at your own pace.

Questions

Which sizes do the samples come in?

Every sample comes as 2, 5 or 10 ml in a glass spray vial. The smallest is enough for a first impression, the larger ones for many wearings.

Why do some perfumes show no notes?

Because we only print notes we can trace to a source. Where no note list is on record, the page says so and leaves the judging to your own skin.

What is a decant?

Perfume moved from the original bottle into a smaller vial. Ours are filled by FragranceGems into glass spray vials and labelled by us, so you can wear a perfume before you decide on a bottle.
