    What do reviewers say about Chypre 21 and Timbuktu?

    Built for those who found the classic chypre too much. Not the archetype, the weight of it. Chypre 21 strips the tradition down to its essential clarity.Chypre 21
    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
