Evocative of a perfumery ritual in Africa. The scent of smoky flowers, balms, spices 
and woods. 

Timbuktu is a unique perfume that combines ancient mysticism with the profoundly modern. It takes inspiration from “Wusulan,” a ritual used by Malian women to scent their hair and skin. Flower roots, balms and spices are thought to bring love and sensuality. The smoky quality from papyrus wood, incense and patchouli pays tribute to the literal meaning of perfume: “Per fumum” or “through smoke”. Africa is evoked in the woody note of vetiver.

With body temperature, a perfume releases its scents. Hence, spray your fragrance on warm spots of your body as for instance on the neck and along the neckline, behind the knees, inside the elbows and wrists or behind the earlobes.
To prolong the scent of your perfume as you move, you may also spray it on your clothes from a certain distance by favouring natural materials such as wool, cotton and velvet.
