Mahogany Zanzibar is an Eau de Toilette. Zanzibar opens with Mandarin, Petitgrain, Freesia, and Basil, settles into a heart of Marigold, Orange Blossom, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Mahogany's Zanzibar carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This is a bold, sensual blast from the past, often compared to a classic for a reason. If you're after something with serious presence and a touch of vintage glamour, Zanzibar delivers.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

With its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, Zanzibar is best suited for evenings and special occasions where its rich, oriental floral character can truly shine. It's a bit too intense for a typical office environment but perfect for dates and formal events.

About

Zanzibar opens with a bright, clean aldehyde rush, swiftly joined by a zesty mandarin and the green, slightly peppery kick of basil, setting a surprisingly invigorating tone. The heart unfurls into a rich, heady bouquet of white florals - jasmine, orange blossom, and lily - balanced by the spicy warmth of marigold and a subtle touch of coriander. It all settles into a decadent base of creamy vanilla and tonka, cushioned by soft musk and a grounding sandalwood, leaving a long-lasting, inviting trail.
