Top notesThe first spray

Heart notesOnce it settles

Base notesWhat lingers

Zanzibar is Aromara's take on Tales from Zanzibar by Memoirs of a Perfume Collector, a cult tropical Extrait. Built at 35% Extrait. £40 instead of £220.

Lime, mint and blood mandarin open it, ripe guava, cassis and coconut at the heart, over candied fruit, musk, ambergris, moss and a thread of oud. A spice-island holiday with a dark, expensive base.

35% Extrait. 7+ hour wear, guaranteed. 60-day money-back.

“Really impressed with the samples I got hence straight away I ordered 3x 50ml bottles.”

Really impressed with the samples I got hence straight away I ordered 3x 50ml bottles. I'm really fussy about originals and copies but these are the best I've ever come across.. I will definitely be ordering some more in the future!

Reply from aromara

Winning over a fussy nose is the hardest job in fragrance, so this is a proper compliment, thank you Simon. Honestly though, we do this for the love of fragrance, so getting it spot on for you is the least we could do.

From aromara customers

  • As a buyer of premium scents I was drawn to the Extrait strength and WOW. The Saffron Secret is a great dupe and I’d go as far as saying identical to MC and the longevity is 6-8hrs and projection is amazing with great compliments. If you’re after scents they are at a fraction of the cost but made with genuine oils and the Aromara Mixologists have created some of the best dupes on the market

    Anil J.on Saffron Secret

  • A lovely scent very close to the OG and dry down and projection 6+ hours and leaves a lovely aroma which you can smell. A great blend and certainly one of the stand out scents offered that provides an all round closeness to the MC OG at a realistic price. Just remember, these blends are made individually so there’s always likely variances on longevity and projection as natural oils and various skin tones.

    Anil J.on Maracuda

  • One word... Amazing!
    Thank you Aromara!

    Andreea S.on Men's Discovery Bundle

  • Stunning fragrance & last all day. Will definitely be purchasing more

    Sally S.on Tonkara

  • Pure perfection! Everything I want in a perfume. The longevity is out of this world!

    Gemma C.on Vanilla Dust

  • Smells amazing. I have a bundle of 3, this one , Nomade and Citrus Oud. All 3 are fantastic.

    Mark W.on L'homme Elixr

  • My new date night fave the vanilla in this is unbelievable and really does last all night

    Richard M.on Altair

  • VANILLA DUST... OMG
    The smell is amazing you wouldn't know rhe difference between Vanilla dust and Vanilla powder.... you don't need to use much as the fragrance is spot on and lasts all day.... so many people ask what fragrance I am wearing and compliment it ..... I can even smell it in the house when I return from being out for a while ..
    Would definitely recommend aromara.
    Will be looking to rider other fragrances again soon

    Shane G.on Vanilla Dust

  • Amazing smell 10/10, this perfume got me more interested in buying more perfumes

    Ahmad I.on Maracuda

  • This is a very powerful and definitely winter fragrance, not for the lose who want a subtle scent, this is out and projecting. The tobacco punches you in the face and this version of the award winning scent is amazing, great work guys.

    Anthony W.on Royal Leaf

  • Stunning scent, absolutely love this.

    Mark W.on Nomade

  • I ordered a few tester sizes of different perfumes. This is my favourite and I will be ordering a full size.

    Gorgeous, just heavenly.
