What do reviewers say about Ylang Tabac and Timbuktu?
Ylang Tabac doesn't try to win you over in the first spray. It takes its time, and that's the whole point. The bold ylang-ylang heart and indolic jasmine either hook you immediately or don't.Ylang Tabac
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
