Tombouctou

by Chris Maurice

Tombouctou is a woody amber extrait de parfum built around thiouraye, the incense burned in West African homes for generations. Signed by Chris Maurice for Gamalion's Yélimané collection, it draws inspiration from Mansa Musa, ruler of the Mali Empire, whose passage changed the value of gold. Saffron, incense and black pepper open the composition, before a heart of leather, amber and oud. Ambergris, vanilla and musk leave a deep trail, like an invisible crown. A powerful unisex fragrance made for evenings and the colder months.

The brand

Gamalion is the meeting point between the name Gassama, carried by a lineage of the Mali Empire, and the lion, an emblem of royalty. Founded in Paris, the house translates West African symbols, rituals and raw materials into highly precise niche perfume compositions.

Its creations are made for free spirits and armchair travellers attuned to inner journeys. All are perfume extracts made in France, in a recycled and recyclable glass bottle closed with a natural wood cap.
