L’Artisan Parfumeur – Timbuktu [Africa Inspired]

In a collection inspired by travels and capturing the sweetest, familiar scents found across the globe; Timbuktu is the second fragrance of master parfumeur, Betrand Duchaufour’s L’Artisan Parfumeur travel collection. With a passion for capturing elusive scents that invoke a sense of place, Betrand has spent time travelling the world. In West Africa, Betrand was inspired by the rich scents found and the traditional art of Wusulan, the Malian art of making perfume, which captured his imagination.
Wusulan is an inherited ancient art, one that has been handed down through the generations from mother to daughter as an aid to seduce and keep your beloved. In honour of the legendary city and the Wusulan ritual, Betrand Duchaufour created the Timbuktu fragrance; a multi-layered, woody with a hint of floral and spice fragrance, adding a modern French spin. Discover top notes of Green Mango, Pink Pepper, berries, Cardamom; middle notes centred in the fragrance of the Karo Karoundé flower, the smokey incense of papyrus wood and Frankincense; and finally base notes of Patchouli, Myrrh, Vetiver and Benzion.
Timbuktu is described as a sophisticated ultra sensual unisex fragrance celebrating beauty, nature and love – and one that lingers on the skin.
