Real talk
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
This isn't a safe blind buy. It's green the way the coast is green, jagged, resinous, medicinal even. The curry leaf and immortelle push it away from pretty.Terralba
