9/11/2023 0 Comments Timbuktu l artisan parfumeurTimbuktu was originally part of the Travel Collection, meant to evoke exotic locales in design, and released before Puig purchased the house then cheapened the packaging of the bottles to the plastic-capped black and white designs they currently use. In particular, a flower called karo karounde is used, which is similar to jasmine but with an almond-like facet, combining with the rest of a bright and dry aromatic accord that replicates the incense and papyrus smoke also found during the ritual. Created by journeyman niche perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, the idea behind Timbuktu was to capture the spirit of the African fragrance ritual called "Wusulan" practiced by Mali women. L'Artisan Parfumeur Timbuktu (2004) would eventually become known by some as the origin of the species for fragrances like Terre d'Hermès (2006), Encre Noire by Lalique (2006), JB by Jack Black (2010), Patchouli by Murdock (2010), and others heavily based on the Iso E Super woody aromachemical. However, I had to throw out my smelling strip for Eau Sauvage out it was irritating me so much. but is it my chemistry or something in the perfume itself? The genre? A note? I read it's one of the best masculines for women, like Eau Sauvage. If this perfume is an aphrodisiac, that may partially explain my obsession. But now that it's unisex and I'm not put off by the vetiver (which I'm not a big fan of) I'll be the one wearing it! What is it that makes Timbuktu so addictive to me? Is it just me? I laughed to myself when I read the smell was inspired by a Mali richual called Wusulan, a West African tradition of female made incense intended to bring love. I remembered when it came out they told me it was for men - and I thought I could not keep my nose and hands off a man wearing that. I have some delicious smells in my wardrobe but none that call me in such a flat out sensual way. ![]() I put it on and have my wrist to my nose every 5 minutes.

The backstory to this masterpiece can easily be found in the reviews below, but what I really want to say is that this is the only sniff in my collection that has absolutely improved with reformulation.
