    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
    Himiko sits in the gap between fruity and smoky, too tropical for winter snobs, too resinous for summer brights. If you want safe, look elsewhere. If you want plum that smells like it's been burning.Himiko
