Quick answer: Mykonos Glitch and Bujairami Kingsman both open with bergamot, apple and pineapple, and both trace back to Creed Aventus. Glitch is the brighter, more aromatic one, with charred pineapple, lavender and a soft vanilla-musk base for summer days, work and sport. Kingsman is the smokier and drier one, with birch, oakmoss and cedarwood for evenings and occasions.
Mykonos Glitch vs Bujairami Kingsman is a comparison that makes sense on paper: two masculine, pineapple-led extraits that share a starting point in Creed Aventus. Glitch is the Mykonos collaboration with SetiawanAde; Kingsman comes from the Australian house Bujairami. Below we put the notes side by side, show where the two part ways and help you work out which one suits you. We sell Mykonos and not Bujairami, so we are not neutral, and a note list never tells you everything about how a perfume wears on skin.
What they have in common
Both take Creed Aventus as a reference, but not in quite the same way. The inspiration line on our product page names two perfumes for Glitch: Roja Elysium and Creed Aventus. So Mykonos Glitch is inspired by both, and sits between them rather than following either one. Kingsman names only one: Bujairami presents it as inspired by Creed Aventus, and says so in the product title itself. The overlap between these two perfumes is therefore the Aventus side of Glitch, not all of it.
A shared inspiration is a shared direction, not an interchangeable bottle. We explain what that line on a product page means, and what it does not, in what "inspired by" means on a perfume.
The note lists show the common ground clearly. Bergamot, apple, pineapple, pink pepper, jasmine, patchouli and musk appear in both. Both are fruity-fresh scents with a masculine label, and both are tagged for summer and for daily wear.

Glitch's notes are the ones on our product page; Kingsman's come from its product description. Read from top to bottom, the two start close together and drift apart. The openings share bergamot and apple, the pineapple turns up in both at different stages, and by the base only musk is left in common.
Where they differ
- The pineapple. Glitch lists charred pineapple as a top note, so it arrives straight away and with a toasted edge. Kingsman places pineapple in the heart, where its description calls it juicy, after an opening of blackcurrant, lemon and pink pepper. If pineapple is the note you are chasing, our tropical fruit perfume guide covers it in more depth.
- The aromatic heart. Glitch has lavender, artemisia and lily of the valley in its heart, which give it a herbal, lightly floral freshness alongside the pink pepper. Kingsman's heart is shorter and earthier: pineapple, patchouli and Moroccan jasmine.
- The base. This is the biggest difference. Glitch settles on patchouli, vanilla and musk, soft and slightly sweet, with vanilla appearing in its heart as well. Kingsman dries down on birch, musk, oakmoss, ambroxan and cedarwood, and its description credits the birch with a smoky finish.
- Strength on paper. Glitch is listed as moderate in intensity, although Mykonos rates its sillage and projection as strong. Kingsman is listed as strong.
- Where they fit. Glitch is tagged for summer, daily wear, work and sport. Kingsman is tagged for spring and summer, daily wear, evenings and special occasions.
Which one should you choose?
- Choose Glitch if you want a fresh, fruity scent for summer days, the office or after the gym, finishing on soft vanilla and musk rather than smoke.
- Choose Glitch if you like aromatic notes. Lavender and artemisia are what set it apart from most pineapple scents; our guide to lavender perfumes shows how differently that note can be used.
- Choose Kingsman if the smoky, woody side appeals most. Birch, oakmoss and cedarwood make it the drier and darker of the two.
- Choose Kingsman if you mainly want something for evenings and occasions, which is how it is tagged.
- If the Aventus reference is what drew you in, note the difference in how each is presented: Kingsman names Aventus alone, while Glitch blends it with Roja Elysium.
Like the idea of a darker pineapple but prefer Glitch's brightness? Mykonos has its own answer. The brand's official Smoked Pineapple combo layers Glitch with Mykonos Inferno for a bolder, richer scent with a darker edge. We explain the order and the number of sprays in our Smoked Pineapple layering guide.
Wearing Mykonos Glitch
Glitch is an extrait de parfum and comes in 50 ml and 100 ml. Its accord is fruity, fresh-spicy and woody, and Mykonos describes it as bright and unconventional. Longevity is rated 12+ hours and both sillage and projection are rated strong, so a light hand pays off: one or two sprays for a working day, one before sport. It is at its best in warm weather and in daylight, which is exactly how it is tagged.
If you are trying Glitch for the first time, 50 ml is the sensible size. It sits in our collaborations collection next to the other SetiawanAde scent, and we compare those two in the two SetiawanAde scents compared.

Frequently asked questions
Are Mykonos Glitch and Bujairami Kingsman the same perfume?
No. They are different perfumes from different houses that share a reference point in Creed Aventus. Their openings overlap, with bergamot, apple and pineapple in both, but Glitch turns aromatic and soft while Kingsman turns smoky and woody.
Is Mykonos Glitch inspired by Creed Aventus?
Partly. Its inspiration line names two perfumes, Roja Elysium and Creed Aventus, so it sits between the two. Bujairami Kingsman is presented as inspired by Aventus alone.
Which one is smokier, Glitch or Kingsman?
Kingsman, going by the notes. Its base of birch, oakmoss, ambroxan and cedarwood is described as smoky and woody. In Glitch the smoky touch comes from the charred pineapple at the top; underneath, it is vanilla, patchouli and musk.
Which is better for the office?
Going by the tags, Glitch: it is listed for work and rated moderate in intensity. Because its sillage is rated strong, one or two sprays is plenty.
