Tales from Zanzibar Extrait De Parfum by Memoirs of a Perfume Collector is a radiant tribute to tropical air, sun-warmed skin, and the effortless joy of island wanderlust. Composed by Harry Sherwood, it’s a fragrance that evokes white sands, cool breezes, and the soft glow of late afternoon light shimmering on the sea.
It opens with a burst of lime and red mandarin—bright, tangy, and mouthwatering—layered with a dash of pink pepper that crackles with energy. A touch of mint adds a cooling edge, like a breeze through fruit-laden trees in the heart of Zanzibar.
The heart reveals creamy coconut and ripe guava, softened by the tartness of blackcurrant. Rich and juicy, these notes conjure the image of a tropical cocktail savoured barefoot under palm shade—sweet, exotic, and quietly indulgent.
As the scent settles, soft musk and candied fruits create a warm, skin-like glow. A touch of ambergris adds salt-kissed depth, while dewy moss and a veil of oud lend subtle complexity—clean, sensual, and grounding.
From opening to dry-down, Tales from Zanzibar is a scent that doesn’t just recall a place—it becomes one. For those who chase the sun, and carry summer with them wherever they go.
