Bois de Zanzibar by Lucien Ferrero for his perfume brand, Anthologie, is a prime example of a woody spicy perfume that unites fans of summery fresh spicy scents. With a clear scent of pink pepper, ginger, and coriander atop a strong base of palisander rosewood, cloves, and a fresh, inviting amber base, the fragrance plays a consistent symphony of strong chords.
Once sprayed, the perfume uncorks with a prominent woodsy pink pepper and icy coriander, nicely mixed with ginger, all softened by a dash of grapefruit. This angular opening is harmonized and pleasant. Gradually as it performs on the skin, shades of woody elements fade in and the main characteristic of the perfume forms. It’s a clash of palisander rosewood, vetiver, cedarwood, and tonka bean, strengthened by an extra shot of nutmeg and cloves to support the dryness of the composition.
To support the composition and reinforce the base notes, a variation of ambergris—ambrocenide, a substance with marine ambery nuances—is implemented.
Especially compared to similar choices, its longevity and sillage make it a winner pick.
