    Like some others, I wanted to like this. The story is appealing (who wouldn't want to smell like a mysterious African flower?), the note are ones I have generally liked, and some of the reviews are...

    You had me at "Timbuktu!" I was ready to buy this fragrance based on the name alone, but tried to be rational before plunking down $135 for 100 ml, so I did a little research. First, I checked...

    Wow! Now this is one lovely fragrance! Let me start by saying that I haven't really found a L'artisan fragrance I didn't like - they're all unique, interesting, and lovely, and I've tried quite a...

    Fresh, translucent, green, pine trees and the ground under them just off the beach of a lake. Very nice, but too masculine for me personally.

    I do not know what it is about this scent that makes it so compelling but I just LOVE it. Not frilly, not foody, not sweet, not powdery, no citrus blast - just yummy-warm delishiosity.

    Lovely sweet incense-y woods with a touch of soap - high quality soap. :D This is a winner for me for sure. I smell a little anise, but not enough to bother me (this isnt one of my favorite...

    Of all the L'Artisan fragrances I own, which is most of them, Timbuktu is my favorite; blended with anise seed, vetiver and tobacco, this fragrance dries down and leaves a sensual and heady scent...

    I've been fascinated by Timbuktu for a while but I haven't been convinced I'd love it enough to pay full freight. Last week I picked it up in Sydney (Australia) for half price. I tend towards...

    An onset of seriously woody sharpness dries down to a much more floral pepper scent. It's weird and it's different and it's definitely rose, but I'm not sure rose and pepper go together. I don't...

    (EDT) I tend to fall for the love/hate scents a great deal of the time, but this one was not a winner for me. It's a little too masculine and green woody/crisp herbal with a tinge of headshoppy...

    Timbuktu is a lovely fragrance on its own, incensey but not harsh or churchy, only sligthly smoked, woody and spicy/peppery, dry but warm. I think it's a unisex scent. On the right male body...

    Well, based on others' reviews, it seems there is either a love or hate reaction to this fragrance, and having tested it I can see why. For fans of niche fragrances who don't want to smell like...

    I first tested this on me in Saks, about a year ago. I liked it because it was much different from all the "mainstream" kind of scents out there. It was unusual, and exotic, and for that, I would...

    It's all in the drydown for this sleeper. The pink pepper predominates at first, but the papyrus/myrrh/frankincense lasts on me, with only a bare trace of the cardamom and pepper left to elevate...

    No one should ever smell like this, be they male or female. Not one of your best, L'Artisan.
