    You know... I've never been to Timbuktu --- I love the name, probably would love the food --- but if this is what Timbuktu smells like I am changing my destination. Those of you with a weak...

    Timbuktu reminds strongly of The African Queen.It reminds me the moment that the tugboat strives in the middle of a muddy river touching the wild branches of the huge trees and the two leads,...

    The start is very promising – resiny but not heavy. It is very dry woods, resin and a little smoke. Then after about ½ hour it turns more into a generic woody men’s cologne with an undertone of...

    Sharply acidic, yet earthy and grounded at the same time. Timbuktu is very clean-smelling and bright, but without any of the usual aquatic or bracing men's-cologne overtones that generally make...

    Appeals immediately to my masculine nose. If I were really King of England, I'd probably spray it around my palace. Other reviewers have noted the similarity to Comme des Garcons' Kyoto, another of...

    I was completely unaware of the barrage of bad reviews Timbuktu had until posting my own review. I'm surprised. I find that Timbuktu is a lovely spicy incense scent-- remniscent of, but not as...

    I am surprised to find myself in a relative minority here - I really, really like Timbuktu! I definitely wear it on it's own, a very nice scent particularly for fall and winter. For those who...

    I got this so long ago, and I think all the negative reviews and talk on the board may have unconsciously turned me off of it at that time. I re-fell in love with it over the summer but found it...

    "Balms and spices are reminiscent of nature's skin. Patchouli, myrrh and vetiver evoke the African earth. A rich and deep fragrance" this is how L'Artisan describes this scent. The description...

    If I were a resident of Timbuktu I'd be filing a complaint about defamation of image by this ghastly, hideous, repulsive scent. No, not scent. Odor. Stench. I can't imagine how they took such...

    Creosote perfume. How did they do it, and why? Oddly enough, I almost like it.

    When I first tried Timbuktu, I was aware of its incredibly shoddy reputation. Suffice it to say, my expectations were incredibly low. Upon application, I was shocked at how...pleasant this was. ...

    I got a lot of different comments on this, from paperfactory (the papyrus?) to the imagination of an evening on holidays, the fresh showered people, the sun- baked earth mixed with the slightly...

    I'm a bit mystified by all the reviews that call Timbuktu "long-lasting", since I have had it on less than 1/2 hour and it's almost gone. It is a very sophisticated, spicy, complex scent, but fades...

    I love it ! Besides that, I am surprised to find such strong opinions against this fragrance. On me its a light spicy/wood scent. I expected that those who don't love it would just feel...
