What do reviewers say about Incense Oud and Timbuktu?
Warm, resinous, with enough smoke to feel dangerous and enough rose to keep it wearable. The oud here doesn't dominate the composition; instead it weaves through the incense and florals.Incense Oud
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
