A vibrant woody floral inspired by ancient Malian rituals

Timbuktu is a totally original and vibrant perfume, inspired by a journey to Mali in West Africa by perfumer Betrand Duchaufour. A study of contrasts in its exotic African roots and innate French sophistication, Timbuktu takes inspiration from the fragrance ritual Wusulan used by generations of Malian women to scent their hair and skin. Potent blends of flower roots, balms and spices are thought to bring love and sensuality into the lives of these heavenly scented women. This takes perfumery back to its roots as the word perfume translates literally as per fumum or through smoke, offering up combinations of scented balms and resins to the gods above. Timbuktu has piquant notes of green mango and creamy karo-karoundé flower to balance the pink pepper, cardamom, and vetiver. Cloaked in smoke from papyrus wood, incense and patchouli, this sensual and airy scent is beautifully ancient yet profoundly modern.

A witty blend of black tea and gourmand delights

Tea for Two is a beautiful black tea scent, the smoky evocative aromas of lapsung-souchong in fact. This fragrance is like taking tea in an English country house in winter. A log fire is burning; tea is being served in china cups. Eating gingerbread and honeyed toast sunk in leather chairs as the walls exude their cigar tinted past and the odour of burnt leaves drifts though a barely open window. Warm and cosy, Tea for Two is a witty blend of gourmand delights and smoke tinted memory.
