smells good in small amounts after like three or four it smells bad. but the dry down on two sprays is delightful smells fresh and super clean. also its long lasting so the dry down lasts maybe 8 hrs tbh. I've sprayed it in the morning and still smells it almost by the end of the day. strong stuff so spray conservatively. it smells like sweet coconut milk. its suppose to be a summer fragrance but I enjoy it anytime it is warm. great buy I say don't go off the negative hype on tik Tok since it doesn't deserve it. just spray conservatively 2x max.

Sprayed it on paper and got the waxy iris and some kind of vanilla in the background...nice, but I wasn't blown away. I let the paper sit while I ate dinner and watched youtube videos...smelling it every now and then. It pretty much stayed the same on paper...that dry waxy iris with some bright citrus and vanilla...very nice. Then I went to take a shower and get cleaned up, after doing the "Triple-S" I decided to try two sprays of "Asad-Z" on chest. Immediately got a creamy vanilla on skin as the scent wafted up to my nose/face. Then the bright Iris hit. I wasn't waxy like it smelled on paper!! Then I noticed how loud it was...two sprays of most other fragrances aren't this powerful. THAT is the kind of performance I like!! It is now 2 hours later and I'm still getting the same P-U-S-H from those two sprays to my chest. VERY NICE!!! It almost feels like as this develops, the iris takes a backseat to some kind of dry woodiness and a creaminess that takes over the fragrance. This is very....odd. It's sweet and creamy vanilla...with this dry woodiness in the background. I'm not getting any coconut or anything like it. This fragrance reminds me of "Victoria Secret - Tease Creme Cloud"...just sweeter and with Iris in it. I'm going to give it a full-day wear to work tomorrow and then I'll give it a final rating. But so far...this is a winner!! 23APR24: Welp, wearing this to work today with a layer of "Burberry Goddess" and it's WONDERFUL!! The sweetness of "Goddess", the Dry powderiness of "Zanzibar"....awesome! I figured out why it reminds me of my "VS - Tease Creme Cloud", its got that "Black Pepper" that stays persistent in the fragrance aura. Its in the background...but its constantly there. Sillage trail on this one....MASSIVE!! I left a trail of Zanzibar from the entry of the security checkpoint all the way to the bus depot on the other side of the building. I could hear people coming into the security checkpoint saying how nice it smelled in the building, lol. Walking around, I can smell "Zanzibar" over the "Goddess" because of the dry-woodiness of "Zanzibar". I am still picking up on the sweet lavender of "Goddess", but everything else...ZANZIBAR! I'm still not getting any "Coconut" from this, just the Iris, Vanilla and Black Pepper. But you know what...that's just find with me. I'd once built a fragrance with Vanilla, Black Pepper and Cedar and loved it while I had it. I moved on and never went back to make another bottle...but this "Zanzibar" gives the same kinda feel and all I've gotta do is spray and enjoy. I think I'm going to enjoy this even more once it macerates and gets better in a month or so. I'll be wearing it at least once or twice a week though. I'm looking forward to seeing how my inner circle feel about it when I wear it around them all... 26APR24: I don't know what happened, but the creaminess factor of this fragrance went into overdrive tonight. I smell like a vanilla ice cream cone....holy shinola!!! I need a backup bottle ASAP!! 😲😲😲❤️❤️❤️❤️

Starts out with a creamy vanilla scent with some powderiness from the iris. On the dry down you start to get some of the pepper notes, giving it a scent similar to the long discontinued Stetson Sierra.

This cologne smells really really nice!

It is marketed as a long-lasting fragrance, spicy burst of black pepper but mellows into a darker, soapy, and creamy coconut scent over time. While its spicy notes add sophistication, its salty coconut and lavender elements. Good for the summer time. Great price

When I read vanilla, coconut, and spicy, I was expecting something a little warmer, maybe even gourmand. Definitely not a gourmand scent, though. It's long-lasting (I was still getting comments 4ish hours into my workday on the smell). This scent definitely leans more on the powdery fresh, cotton, and floral vanilla notes. To me, this has a strong "soapy" note with an almost "cooling" effect that lingers for hours--it would make a great laundry detergent or deodorant. If you wear this, it will leave you smelling "clean," but one spray too many and it will be overwhelming for you and the people around you. 1-2 sprays will leave you smelling fresh, 3 is pushing it, and 4+ will give the air around you an almost menthol quality.

I bought this for my son who is 14yrs old now the first time I bought it for him he was 13yrs old when I tell you I LOVE this fragrance on him when he wears it omg it makes me happy that he's controlling the air around me 10/10 highly recommend I wish they had a bigger bottle 🫶🏾🔥❤️🫶🏾🔥❤️🫶🏾
