What do reviewers say about Tamboti Wood and Timbuktu?
Most woody fragrances play it safe, drydown on drydown, all cedar all day. This one shifts. The vetiver arrives green and almost mineral, then yields to something warmer, creamier.Tamboti Wood
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
