About

Zanzibar opens with a gentle floral bouquet of jasmine and ylang-ylang, softened by a hint of rose, giving it an immediate sense of warmth and natural bloom. This soon mingles with a bright, slightly tart petitgrain, underscored by a subtle spicy current. The journey concludes on a refined, woody base of creamy sandalwood and dry cedar, creating a balanced and enduring close that feels both clean and comforting.
