Bujairami Roselle — Fragrance Du Bois Sirène’s Dark Cherry, at a Seventh of the Price
Cherry · Pepper · Oud · Lactones · Incense · Benzoin · Cypriol · Labdanum · Moss — 100ml Extrait de Parfum, 100% authentic, free UK delivery.
Roselle is the Bujairami that nobody talks about yet, and possibly the one that most deserves it. Dark, syrupy cherry and a bite of pepper open onto smoky oud and cool incense, softened by creamy lactones, then settle into an earthy base of benzoin, cypriol, labdanum and moss. Sweet, smoky and unusual — the bottle you reach for when you want to smell of something nobody else in the room is wearing.
The reference is niche, and the brand names it. Bujairami sells this as “Roselle Inspired By Sirène Fragrance Du Bois”. Sirène is a 2024 parfum by Nanako Ogi, and Fragrantica lists exactly the same nine notes for it as Bujairami lists for Roselle. Fragrance Du Bois’s own UK site sells Sirène at £280 for 75ml.
Bujairami has no affiliation with Fragrance Du Bois. We name Sirène so you can place the style, and we set out below where a matching note list stops telling you anything.
Roselle’s Pyramid
Nine notes, as Bujairami lists them. Roselle is not yet on Fragrantica, but Sirène’s Fragrantica pyramid is identical tier for tier.
Cherry arrives dark and rich — closer to black cherry preserve than cherry sweets — with pepper cutting through it dry and sharp so the sweetness never cloys.
Smoky, resinous oud and cool incense give it a dark backbone. Lactones — the molecules behind creamy, milky textures — are the surprise, softening the smoke into something velvety.
Benzoin brings honeyed warmth. Cypriol (nagarmotha), an Indian root oil, adds a dry, smoky, faintly medicinal texture rarely found in mainstream perfume. Labdanum gives dark amber depth, and moss grounds it all with a cool, damp earthiness.

Roselle vs Fragrance Du Bois Sirène
Set the two published lists side by side and every Roselle note is there. Fragrance Du Bois’s own listing adds cistus — the same rockrose plant labdanum comes from — and calls the pepper pink pepper.

Buy Fragrance Du Bois for the original. Buy this for the idea, at a fraction of the price.
Our grade: B+. The brand states the inspiration and the published pyramids match note for note, so on paper this is as close as it gets. We hold back from an A because the evidence on skin is thin: Roselle is not yet on Fragrantica and we have not found named reviewers comparing the two. Fragrance Du Bois builds its house style around oud from its own plantations, and that raw material is part of what you pay £280 for.
It is also worth knowing what Sirène’s own wearers say. On Fragrantica, opinions on its performance are split — some report it lasting well on skin and clothes, others say it fades fast, and several describe very strong projection. Expect a characterful, divisive scent rather than a safe one.
Performance — Honest Answer
Roselle’s wearers have not yet reported hours in useful numbers, and even Sirène’s reviewers disagree sharply on longevity. So there is no hours figure here. What we can say: the cherry fades first, and the resin-heavy base is the kind that clings to clothing.

Good to Know Before You Buy
- Cherry here is dark, not candy. If you want a sweet, gourmand cherry, Lattafa Mayar Cherry Intense is the friendlier choice.
- There is real oud and smoke. The fruit fades and leaves incense, oud and earthy cypriol. That is the point, but it is not for everyone.
- An evening scent. Autumn and winter, after dark. Too smoky and characterful for most offices.
- Beware wrong note lists. Some UK listings show hibiscus or citrus for Roselle. Bujairami’s own pyramid is the one above.
Why Buy Roselle From Khaleej Scents
Every bottle is genuine Bujairami from authorised distribution, never refilled or repackaged — important with oud scents, where the base is the costly part and the easiest to fake. We check every note list against the brand’s own listing and independent sources such as Fragrantica, and we describe performance from what wearers consistently report rather than from our own lab claims.
