TIMBUKTU A FRAGRANCE FOR MEN AND WOMEN

Timbuktu was created by perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour in 2004 as part of L’Artisan Parfumeur's voyage collection, and was inspired by his travels in Mali, Africa. TIMBUKTU is a dry combination of woods, vetiver, sandalwood, patchouli and incense. From the top notes of pepper and grapefruit to the earthy drydown of patchouli and musk. It is as if the dark, dense notes are interspersed with fresh, effervescent layers. It is not the conventional note of citrus or generic lavender, but rather the brightness of wood sap and sweet pine resin. As Timbuktu changes on the skin from spicy incense to smoky woods, its freshness takes on a beguiling and sensual character. In the late drydown, Timbuktu is remarkably similar to the sweet and salty intimacy of warm skin. A very sexy fragrance indeed.
