What does Zinzibar smell like?

The top holds tangerine, ginger, lime and bergamot, so the citrus starts bright with a fruity sweetness. In the heart, pepper and cardamom bring the spice forward, freesia softens that edge, and ginger carries on. The base of cedar and sandalwood is dry and woody, and the oriental accord keeps the spicy, sweet mix warm. Arabian Oud Amiri and Ahmed Al Maghribi Amiri have a close profile.
