Zanzibar Tales

Name: Zanzibar Tales Eau de Parfum
Brand: Perfume Parlour
Availability: InStock

Perfume Parlour Zanzibar Tales is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Zanzibar Tales opens with Blood 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, Oud, and Ambergris. Perfume Parlour's Zanzibar Tales carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A budget clone of Memoirs of a Perfume Collector's Tales from Zanzibar. The juicy tropical guava-coconut fruitiness over a clean musky base captures the original's summer charm, though Perfume Parlour renders it simpler and shorter-lived.

About

Zanzibar Tales follows the much-hyped Tales from Zanzibar by Memoirs of a Perfume Collector, opening with a zesty lime, mint, blood mandarin and pink pepper. A juicy tropical heart of guava, blackcurrant and coconut gives that creamy-yet-green husk freshness the original is loved for, before a base of candied fruits, musk, ambergris, moss and a whisper of oud leaves a soft tropical-musky trail. The original is famous for being a wearable, clean, uplifting tropical-fruit scent that's gorgeous in hot weather, with loud projection and a fantastic 10-12 hour longevity. This clone keeps that rich tropical-fruit signature and the musky drydown, but the fruit reads a little simpler and sweeter while the projection and longevity drop to a few hours. It's a fun, radiant summer fruity that delivers the Zanzibar vibe for a fraction of the price.
