What does Bushukan (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with citron, elemi resin, lemon and bergamot, fresh and a little resinous. The heart of thyme, black pepper, clary sage and cedarwood turns it green and spicy, and patchouli, tolu balm and vetiver give it a woody base.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. More than half of voters find it masculine, though it reads as unisex. Molton Brown Fresh Bushukan Citrus Splash and Rhizome 03 have a close profile.
