Zanzibar (2001)

VC&A's latest men's scent is the fresh and spicy Zanzibar. Maybe it doesn't last as long as it should.

![]() alfarom ItalyShow all reviews | An honest woody/citrus fragrance with some spices thrown in. Nice opening opposed to a faint woody drydown. Overall Zanzibar smells fine but don't expect something particularly artistic or distinctive. Average quality. 21st November, 2011. |
| evinick GreeceShow all reviews | GROUP. Citrus – Woody. GENDER. Unisex CREATIVITY. Absolutely nothing special. DAYorNIGHT? Strictly a daywear scent. LONGEVITY. Average. COMMENTS. Top note citrus, mid note citrus, base note citrus. So linear, so monotonous. You have the feeling that this nice fresh citrus opening will never leave your skin. Very few spices (coriander, pepper ) and some herbs try to take this a step further but its not enough. A soft woody note just comes too late. Good though as a car air freshener or a linen spray. 25th September, 2009. |

| tvlampboy United StatesShow all reviews | Like the spice, but no distinctive notes here. VC&A Original Pour Homme it's NOT. Again (as others have pointed out in other reviews here), staying power is a bit of a problem. 3rd October, 2006. |
| foetidus United StatesShow all reviews | Good citrus opening, but not very different from the openings in many other scents. Not too sweet—freshened with coriander. The coriander holds for a long time before moving into the spicy mid notes. These spices are quite tame, with the pepper coming through nicely to add elegance to an otherwise casual fragrance. The dry down is a subtle wood accord. Even though not very much about Zanzibar is new or creative, it is a good solid scent while it lasts, which is not very long. 5th March, 2006. |
