What does Bujairami Smoke & Sugar smell like?
Coffee, pink pepper and anise open the scent. Coffee gives a dark, roasted bitterness, pink pepper adds a fruity, peppery brightness, and anise brings a cool, liquorice-like sweetness that rounds the roast. The start is bitter-sweet and spicy.
Orange blossom and jasmine form the heart. Orange blossom is a bright, honeyed white floral with a citrus edge, and jasmine adds a creamy, heady flower. The middle is floral and warm, and it keeps the coffee from staying bitter.
The base is caramel, vanilla, cocoa and smoke. Caramel and vanilla bring a sweet, toasted warmth, cocoa adds a dry, bitter-sweet depth, and smoke gives an ashy edge. The sugar of the name sits against that smoky line rather than standing alone.

Bujairami Old School opens on pink pepper, ginger and cardamom, has sambac jasmine, hedione and iris in the heart, and ends on vetiver, cinnamon and moss. Smoke & Sugar has coffee and anise at the top and caramel and vanilla in the base, so Old School is greener and drier at the end.
