Memoirs Of A Perfume Collector Tales from Zanzibar is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Harry Sherwood. Tales from Zanzibar opens with Mandarin, Lime, Pink Pepper, and Mint, settles into a heart of Blackcurrant, Coconut, and Guava, and dries down to a base of Candied Fruits, Musk, Oakmoss, and Ambergris. Memoirs Of A Perfume Collector's Tales from Zanzibar carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This is a seriously hyped tropical powerhouse, delivering a unique guava-forward scent that smells perfect for summer. Most reviews rave about its delicious, juicy fruitiness, but watch out: a vocal minority pick up an unfortunate 'B.O.' or 'sweaty' note on their skin. Sample first, just in case.

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.

About

Imagine yourself amidst a sun-kissed fruit grove. Tales from Zanzibar bursts open with an invigorating splash of zesty lime, juicy mandarin, and fresh mint, uplifted by a hint of pink pepper. The heart unfurls into a tropical paradise of sweet guava and creamy coconut, with a tart edge from redcurrant leaf. The dry down is a clean, musky base with earthy oakmoss and a whisper of candied fruits, maintaining a fresh and vibrant feel.
