Timbukto | Timeless scent
Timbuktu is magical. It’s woody, dark and mysterious. I was lucky to get hold of the older formulation. I also love this bottle more than the current/ darker one. However, it’s just personal taste.
Coming back to Timbuktu, the note of mango gives it a zing/ sharpness and notes of vetiver, incense, and papyrus give it a masculine tone. The scent is well rounded, sophisticated and warm. Incense/ Myrhh are definitely the stars of the show and I love it.
If I had to compare it with another fragrance, to my nose it smells like a lighter version of Encre Noire with an oriental flair! Also, the vetiver also reminds me of Terre d’Hermes but only a little.
Timbuktu is timeless and evergreen. I can’t wait to hear it when it gets cooler. If you didn’t get a chance to smell this, I would highly recommend you to look into this one!

Smoke | Powerhouse form Akro Fragrances
Basically it smells exactly how its named. If you love incense resinous scents, Smoke is great for you.
It’s a rich and opulent tobacco and benzoin bomb that laches onto your skin. It would make you smell like if you spent a night in a really sophisticated jazz bar where people were smoking some high quality cigars.
The smoke in this scent is very raw and ashy (in a good way) and its reminiscent of a campfire smoke which when mixed by tonka bean really makes the scent wearable and cozy ????
Smoke is a powerhouse. Its the note of Smoke beautifully blended with tobacco, cade oil & the sweetness of Tonka.
If you are into smokey/ incense scents, this won't disappoint you!

Haze | Another Powerhouse from the house!
Haze is as green as a fragrance can be. Akro fragrances are based on six different addictions and Haze is based on the addiction of Weed!
Imagine taking eucalyptus & mint leaves, crushing it with a little absinthe. Haze is smooth, earthy, bitter, refreshing and up-lifting. It definitely reminds me of my trip to Amsterdam ;)
Even though it's Fall, if you are looking for a fresh green scent that will get you smelling different, Haze can be for you!

Quetzaly | Surprisingly Unique
I have been wearing Quetzaly for quiet few days now I can tell you that this scent is a winner to me.
Coming back to how “Quetzaly” smells? It’s smells different with it’s character of its own. It was love at first spray for me. Here is why:
Top notes listed in the fragrance are Lime, Avocado & Chilli pepper. How unique is that. It definitely has this creamy almost spicy opening (First, I thought it was cardamom but it’s basically chilli mixed with Avocado smell) very nice and comforting.
The first spray definitely is loud (in a good way). The spiciness stays for a long time on the skin and with time, the scent definitely get’s darker and even more creamier.
Quetzaly has incense in the middle that gives scent it’s character along with Dhalia (which I haven’t smelled before in perfumes but apparently its a plant from Mexico. In addition, it also contains Copal which is a kind of resin. So the darkness comes from both Incense and copal.
Dry down is also as beautiful as the top and the mid. It has Cedar, sandalwood and musk in the base. All the three complement the scent so well. ????
???? To summarise, if you are looking for something different (not challenging) that will really have you smelling like no one, I would definitely recommend you sampling Quetzaly once!

Ani | Definitely one of the top Vanilla scents I have tried in 2019!
Ani is heavenly. It’s vanilla done to perfection. I never thought I would love a vanilla scent so much. I always thought one can’t do much with a simple note like vanilla. Everyone grows us smelling it, it’s used in almost every 5th perfume. Until you smell this.
Ani starts with crisp zingy vanilla mixed with citrus and ginger. It soon transforms into this beautiful bed of sandalwood mixed with some spices like pepper and cardamom. I do a get a little rose that adds to the complexity of the scent. Its simple yet complex on the skin.
The dry down is as magical as the initial spray with that benzoin & patchouli mix.
You would think a vanilla scent can’t last on the skin until you spray Ani. Usually 2 sprays of it on my skin lasts me the whole day without a doubt. Sits beautifully in the skin and fills in the room no matter how big it is. I don’t know what else can I say about Ani that hasn’t been said already. I have no second thoughts in saying but Ani has to be one of the best releases of 2019 in my eyes.
