What do reviewers say about Cuiron (2014) and Timbuktu?
The leather here isn't a statement, it's a second skin. Suede and frankincense build something warm and resinous that sits tight against you, with just enough citrus brightness up top to keep it from.Cuiron (2014)
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
