Zanzibar

Zanzibar by Yachtsman unfolds as a uniquely textured, fresh-spiced fragrance that begins with a vegetal green burst of cucumber and citrus, evoking the crispness of a tropical salad. The early moments are aromatic, slightly gourmand, and carry an unexpected soapy quality that some describe as reminiscent of a spiced bar of soap or clean pine disinfectant, yet never becomes harsh or chemical. As it dries down, the composition deepens into a warm, balanced blend of cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg, softened by vanilla and white floral touches. The woody base of teak and cedar provides a gentle earthy grounding, while olibanum adds a subtle, incensy softness. The overall impression is both fresh and intimate—well-rounded, non-invasive, and especially suitable for warm seasons. While the olfactory journey is rich and elegant, many users report inconsistent longevity, with the fragrance fading quickly, especially on certain skin types. Despite this, the fragrance is widely praised for its subtle uniqueness, harmonious blend of green, spice, and wood, and its wearable, unisex character that feels personal and modern.
