Oud Zanzibar

In my new obssesion that is fragrance, there have been very few fragrances that are suitable for the summer that have excited me. The market is overran with clean, soapy, fresh out of the shower fragrances that are mass appealing. None of have them have provided me with what truly evokes the season of summer to me. The hot and humid air, fresh ripe and refreshing assembly of citrus fruits and melons, the smell of the late bloom florals of the magnolia trees in the southern USA, the woodiness of being underneath an oak tree to shade from the sun. This wonderful fragrance evokes such feelings in me. It's as if I was back in my hometown, eating cantaloupe under a magnolia tree whilst drinking an Arnold Palmer. The citrus from the bergamot, the florals from the magnolia and jasmine, the very prominent melon note, the creamy sandalwood, with spices and earthy patchouli to round it all out. A brilliantly orchestrated representation of the summer season in a hot climate. 10/10 would recommend. This is my new summer go to for the hottest of days.

Blend Oud Zanzibar is an exquisite fragrance that takes the wearer on a sensory journey to the enchanting island of Zanzibar. Its opening notes of exotic spices immediately captivate, evoking the island's vibrant markets and rich cultural tapestry. As the scent unfolds, a heart of opulent flowers and rare oud wood emerges, creating a luxurious and deeply seductive aroma that is both complex and harmonious. The dry down reveals a warm, sensual base of amber and musk, which lingers on the skin, leaving a lasting impression. Zanzibar is a masterpiece of olfactory artistry, perfectly balancing the intensity of oud with the warmth of spices and the sweetness of florals, making it an ideal fragrance for those who appreciate depth, sophistication, and a touch of mystery in their scent profile.

One of the most beautiful summer scent ever created. Rich citruses with the vaniliac feel of magnolia and the smoothness of sandalwood. If longevity would be better, this would probably be my all time favourite.

This would easily be one of the best blue fragrances ever if it wasn't for synthetic oud taking over after dry down

A Very pretty, citrusy fragrance that is excellent for the summer. Definitely the image for men, wearing linen clothes, rolled up pants to the ankles, walking along the beat line and just appreciating life. That's the image I get wit this. Worth checking out if you can find it, as of this writing, it seems to be sold out everywhere and the companies website itself doesn't have it listed so, I don't know if maybe they rotate their fragrances and discontinue the old to make way for the new.
