It took me awhile to warm up to Pure Shot and was even more of a reach as a blind buy. When I first tested it back when it was released I didn't care for it at all due to the projection and...

Although I get quite a bit of apple freshness in the top note, this scent never becomes sweet or overly fruity. In the drydown flowery touches with a woody note emerge, and some vanilla and...

Yes, it's yet another flanker and most of them do smell very similar. This flanker is more of the same, but I enjoy this because the floral note is muted and there's more of a focus on the...

Reminds me of being an 18 year old out clubbing! Haha, its amazing how scents can transport you back in time. Nice smell, girls like it, and definitely inoffensive!

I've been trying to get my grubby paws on a bottle of Timbuktu for a while now, but didn't quite manage. What easier to obtain designer scent is similar to Timbuktu? If you have a niche recommendation, fire away as well.

Caveat: I mean 'similar' as in Cool Water / GIT, Halston Z-14 / TF Italian Cypress kinda similarity. No carbon copy necessary.

Gucci Rush for Men has a similar feel in my opinion.

I can't think of one off hand. Why not call 212-904-7910 (it is a shop in NYC that carries L'Artisan) and order it. They will send it by mail-- that is how I got my bottle. They are also great about sending samples along with your order. Ah, sorry, I just noticed where you are located. Bad idea for a phone call. Sorry.

Oh, I sampled Timbuktu already, thanks for your suggestion.

And I love it.

But I was just wondering what other scents are similar to it, as I can't say out of the top of my head. Yeah, well, I think Dzongkha is a bit stronger but similar, but I was wondering what else.
