“Sorting through my diary has brought back a plethora of fond memories of my visit to Zanzibar. It had the most exquisite, powdery, white sand beach I’ve ever laid foot on. I took countless dips in the shimmering, warm, turquoise waters, and the sunset encounters were nothing short of breathtaking.”

After loving the sample, I purchased a 5ml decant, and wore it regularly throughout the early summer. When the temps went into the high 90’s to 100 degrees with high humidity, it was a little cloying. It does smell amazing. Personally, I get more passion fruit than papaya which is fine by me. I see either a larger decant or a full bottle in my future.

I got a sample of this for myself and didn’t love it on me, so I gave it to my husband and it smells amazing on him. He bought a full bottle and I’m honestly obsessed with this scent on him. I’ve never been big on men’s cologne, but I can’t get enough of this. I think it’s because it doesn’t smell like a typical cologne… it’s hard to even pinpoint what each note is but oh my god, I love it so much!

This was a surprise sample offered to me when I purchased another fragrance. When I first smelled it, OH MUH GAWDDDDD, it is so beautiful and so well blended. Just a touch of sweet tropical fruits with an extremely high quality oud. THIS my friends, is what niche is all about. 10/10 Marrakesh is the other one that I will soon own. If you are a fan of Amouage or FDB, get this. WOW factor 100.

Ok this fragrance is amazing!! I do get the lime and mandarin - I would say it lasts, on me, for at least 8 hours and would def say it’s a unisex fragrance. Love it!
