    Real talk

    Zanzibar doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is, an aldehydic white floral with warmth to spare. That combination either pulls you in immediately or takes a wear or two to click.Zanzibar
    Here's the thing about powdery florals, they've become rarer in contemporary fragrance collections. Gaby didn't get that memo. It wears like a commitment: mimosa up top.Gaby
