What does Tales from Zanzibar Golden Hour smell like?

It opens with lime, mint, red mandarin orange and pink pepper, which give a bright citrus start with a light spicy edge. In the heart, guava and blackcurrant bring juicy sweetness, while Haitian vetiver adds a green streak and coconut softens it. The base blends ambergris, amber, musk and moss with candied fruits. Overall it balances fresh, green and sweet, with the spice staying in the background.
