Quick answer: Mykonos Reflection and Bujairami Psycho are both linked to Louis Vuitton Symphony and both are built on grapefruit, bergamot and ginger. Psycho makes ginger its centre: after a grapefruit and bergamot opening, ginger is the heart and the main ingredient. Reflection puts ginger in the opening with the citrus, then moves on to marine notes, cardamom and lily of the valley, over a base of musk, amber, patchouli and ambroxan.
Mykonos Reflection vs Bujairami Psycho looks like a very close match at first: three core notes in common and a shared inspiration. The interesting part is where each one puts those notes. Psycho has come up once before on this blog, next to Mykonos Reflection Elixir in our Reflection Elixir roundup. Here it gets a full comparison with Reflection itself, the cleaner, more marine of the two Mykonos scents with this inspiration. We sell Mykonos, not Bujairami, so we are not neutral, and a note list is a guide rather than a promise.
What they have in common
Mykonos Reflection is inspired by Louis Vuitton Symphony, as its product page states, and Reflection Elixir names the same inspiration. Bujairami presents Psycho as inspired by Louis Vuitton Symphony; the reference is part of its own product title. Psycho was created by Adam Bujairami and released in 2025.
On paper, they share:
- The core trio: grapefruit, bergamot and ginger are in both pyramids.
- A spicy character: Reflection's accord is citrus, fresh spicy and floral; Psycho is described as aromatic and spicy.
- The calendar: both are listed for spring and summer, for daily wear and for work.
That shared core is what the inspiration explains; almost everything around it differs. Read what "inspired by" means on a perfume for how we treat these lines.
Mykonos Reflection vs Bujairami Psycho: notes compared
Reflection's notes are from the Mykonos handbook. Psycho's description walks through an opening, a heart and a base, but names no base notes, so that cell says so.
| Mykonos Reflection | Bujairami Psycho | |
|---|---|---|
| Top notes | Grapefruit, ginger, bergamot | Grapefruit, bergamot |
| Heart notes | Marine notes, cardamom, lily of the valley | Ginger |
| Base notes | Musk, patchouli, amber, ambroxan | Not named; described as a solid foundation that anchors the citrus |
| Concentration | Extrait de parfum | Eau de parfum* |
| Character | Citrus, fresh spicy, floral | Aromatic, spicy citrus |
| Stated intensity | Moderate | Moderate |
| Best season | Spring, summer, autumn | Spring, summer |
| Best for | Daily wear, evenings, work; unisex | Daily wear, sport, work; for men |
*Bujairami's own product title for Psycho includes the word Extrait; the product data we work from lists it as an eau de parfum, so treat that cell as indicative.
Reflection: ginger in the opening, cardamom in the heart
Reflection puts ginger in its top notes, together with grapefruit and bergamot. Mykonos calls it smooth ginger that adds a refined warmth, so the citrus burst arrives with a little heat already in it. In the heart the spice passes to cardamom, softer and more aromatic, while marine notes and lily of the valley make the middle airy and light. Our spicy perfume guide explains how cardamom differs from warmer spices.
Psycho: ginger as the core
Psycho opens on grapefruit and bergamot alone, which its description frames as an electric jolt with a bitter freshness. Ginger follows as the heart and, in the description's words, the main ingredient, giving the scent its spicy kick and a tingling texture. The description says it settles into a warm, spicy trail. Where Reflection moves on from the ginger, Psycho is built around it.
The base
Reflection's base is named in full: musk, amber, ambroxan and a little patchouli. Mykonos describes the citrus growing richer and slightly powdery before it settles close to the skin. Psycho's base is not named; its description only says a solid foundation anchors the citrus. If you care about how a scent finishes, Reflection gives you more to go on.
Where they differ
- The role of ginger. Part of the opening in Reflection; the heart and main ingredient in Psycho.
- Sea air and flowers. Reflection's marine notes and lily of the valley have no counterpart in Psycho's pyramid. If you like that watery freshness, see fresh and aquatic fragrances compared.
- A second spice. Reflection adds cardamom in the heart; Psycho keeps to ginger.
- Concentration. Reflection is an extrait, Psycho is listed as an eau de parfum, and both are rated moderate. The Mykonos handbook rates Reflection's sillage and projection as moderate to strong, with longevity of 10+ hours.
- Who and when. Reflection is unisex, listed into autumn and tagged for evenings. Psycho is aimed at men and tagged for sport.
Which one should you choose?
- You want ginger front and centre: Psycho, where it is the heart of the scent.

Wearing Mykonos Reflection
Reflection is an extrait de parfum rated moderate, with sillage and projection rated moderate to strong and longevity of 10+ hours. For a day at work, two sprays on the chest under a shirt keep it close; for an evening, add one at the neck, and in autumn, when cooler air dampens citrus, that extra spray helps the opening come through. It is unisex, listed for spring, summer and autumn and for daily wear, evenings and work, and comes in 50 ml and 100 ml.
