What do reviewers say about Mystra and Timbuktu?
Incense and labdanum together, this is for people who want resinous complexity over mass appeal. Not everyone wants to smell like a Byzantine chapel, but for those who do, this is the one.Mystra
Timbuktu rewards patience. The mango opening is genuinely unusual for its time, and the incense-karo karounde heart requires an open mind, but the vetiver-benzoin drydown is pure class.Timbuktu
