About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Zambesi by Olfattology, launched in 2021, is a unisex Oriental Floral that opens with a bright trio of tangerine, bergamot, and magnolia. The citrus top notes quickly give way to a rich, spicy heart where vanilla, labdanum, cinnamon, tonka bean, and jasmine intertwine, creating a warm, balsamic core. The base of cedar, sandalwood, Peru balsam, musk, patchouli, and ambergris grounds the composition with woody, ambery, and powdery facets that linger for hours.
This fragrance suits collectors who appreciate a well-balanced oriental floral with a strong woody backbone (woody 100%, amber 82%, vanilla 75%). It is ideal for evening wear or cooler months, offering a cozy yet sophisticated aura. The balsamic and powdery accords (70% and 65%) add depth, making it a versatile choice for those who enjoy complex, resinous scents. Whether you are a seasoned collector or new to niche perfumery, Zambesi delivers a harmonious blend that stands out for its warmth and longevity.

Price ranges are compiled from our own recorded transactions, not from asking prices.
A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
