Zanzibar

Zanzibar opens with bright citron and warm cardamom, the spice already announcing itself beneath the initial citrus snap. Cloves and pepper arrive quickly, heating the skin with ginger's peppery bite, while coriander threads through as a whisper of earthiness. The warmth deepens into the drydown as vetiver grounds the composition—dry, rooty, almost tobacco-like—while ambrette adds a soft, creamy roundness and sandalwood settles into a pale, woody base that lingers dry and slightly powdered on skin.
