Top notes are Cardamom, Coriander and Citron; middle notes are Ginger, Pepper and Cloves; base notes are Vetiver, Sandalwood and Ambrette (Musk Mallow). The name of the perfume says everything: this is a fragrance for adventurers and explorers. It soaked the scent of red African land, exotic trees and hot spices. Zanzibar is an island near the east coast of Africa.Freshness of lemon is covered by a spicy wave of cardamom and coriander. The fragrance becomes warmer and sweeter, revealing the heart of ginger, black pepper and cloves. Woody notes of the base make you feel like in an exotic jungle full of sandalwood, vetiver and ambrette.The perfume was created by Jacques Cavallier and Alberto Morillas in 2001.
