Description
Double Dose is a warm vanilla eau de parfum from Bujairami with a thread of incense running through it. Pink pepper and bergamot open it, rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang soften the middle, and vanilla with benzoin gives it a rich, resinous base. It is made for women. Choose it if you like your vanilla dark and smoky rather than sugary, with enough florals to keep it smooth.
The Scent Journey
The Opening
Incense is there from the first spray, dry and slightly smoky, like a church on a cold morning. Pink pepper adds a spark, and bergamot lifts the whole thing with a little brightness so the start never feels heavy. It sets the tone for a scent that is warm from the outset.
The Heart
The florals take over next. Bulgarian rose brings a soft, velvety petal note, jasmine adds a creamy warmth, and ylang-ylang gives a rounded, slightly buttery richness. Cedar runs underneath and keeps the heart dry and upright, so the flowers stay supple without turning powdery.
The Dry Down
This is the part most people buy it for. Vanilla settles in thick and smooth, and benzoin wraps it in a resinous, faintly balsamic warmth. The incense from the opening never quite leaves, so the base smells like vanilla sitting near a smouldering stick of resin.
Fragrance Notes

Longevity and Performance
Double Dose is an eau de parfum, the lighter of the two Bujairami strengths. On most skin you can expect a clear, warm trail in the first part of the day, then a softer vanilla and resin layer that stays close. Vanilla and benzoin bases tend to cling to scarves and knitwear well. Eau de parfum projects a little more freely than extrait, which sits closer to the skin. Your skin, the weather and how many sprays you use all change how it wears.
When to Wear It
Double Dose is suited to autumn and winter, when the incense and vanilla feel cosy rather than heavy. It works for evenings out, dinners and weekends at home in a thick jumper. A cool spring night suits it too.
Two sprays on the neck are plenty for a quiet setting. For a night out, add one to the chest or to a scarf and let the vanilla do the rest.
Double Dose Within the Bujairami Collection
Double Dose is sold out at the moment. If the rose and incense pairing appeals, Madness takes it in a darker, oud-led direction. For a warmer vanilla with spice, try Legacy. You can see everything in stock in the full Bujairami collection.
The Inspiration
