What does Bujairami Sand Man smell like?
Whiskey is listed at the top, and it reads as a dry, slightly smoky alcoholic note rather than a sweet one. Coriander is green and citrusy with a soapy edge, mandarin brings a soft citrus, and sesame and anise add a nutty and liquorice-like warmth that keeps the opening from being purely bright.
The heart is cocoa, sandalwood and cashmeran. Cocoa gives a bitter, roasted, chocolate-like depth, sandalwood brings creamy wood, and cashmeran is a musky, woody material with a soft, warm feel. Together they move the scent from the open top into a darker centre.
The base has seven materials. Tonka bean and benzoin supply sweet, almond-vanillic and resinous warmth, styrax adds a balsamic, slightly smoky resin, white cedar and patchouli give a dry, earthy wood, and vanilla and cashmere wood round the list off. The sweetness here is resinous rather than sugary.

Sand Man and its closest neighbours
Bujairami Toxin shares tonka bean, cedar and patchouli with Sand Man, so the base has the most common ground. Its top is wild strawberry, strawberry, caramel and blackberry, a fruit-led opening where Sand Man has whiskey and coriander. Its heart of raspberry, Virginian cedar and cinnamon and its Russian leather base set it apart.
Bujairami Ocean Waves shares mandarin, benzoin and patchouli with Sand Man, and both sit on a resinous base. Its top is salt and mandarin, with marine notes, leather and jasmine in the heart and amber, benzoin, patchouli and musk at the base. Sand Man opens on a warmer, spicier group of whiskey, coriander and anise, and its heart is cocoa and sandalwood rather than marine.
Bujairami Red Fortune shares mandarin, tonka bean and vanilla with Sand Man, which places both on the sweeter side of this guide. Its top is raspberry, peach, almond, litchi and green mandarin, and its heart is orris, orange blossom and rose. Sand Man keeps its fruit to one mandarin at the top, while Red Fortune builds on a fruit-and-rose opening, and Sand Man builds its centre on cocoa and woods.
