What do reviewers say about Timbuktu and Bohea Bohème?
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
Most smoky fragrances announce themselves like a door slam. Bohea Bohème slips in through the window, you don't smell it so much as find yourself already inside it.Bohea Bohème
