Tales from Zanzibar is the 2021 fragrance the London house Memoirs of a Perfume Collector started with, composed by British perfumer Harry Sherwood. The house builds each scent on a place its two founders have travelled to, and this one is the collector's diary page from Zanzibar: powdery white sand, warm turquoise water and long sunsets. It opens on lime, red mandarin and mint, sinks into a creamy, sweet-sour heart of coconut and guava, and settles on musk, ambergris and a transparent oud. It is an extrait de parfum.

Memoirs sells Tales from Zanzibar direct at £195 for 75 ml, in stock, under its own three words: radiant, energising, tropical. The house pyramid runs lime, red mandarin, pink pepper and mint; coconut, guava and cassis; then a musk cocktail, candied fruits, ambergris, transparent oud and moss.

Sergey Borisov's tour of the house for Fragrantica dates Memoirs to London in 2021 and credits Harry Sherwood (Artifiscent) with its first five fragrances. He finds Tales from Zanzibar fun and relaxed — citrus cocktails on a paradise island, then sweet-and-sour fruit in creamy syrup over a grey, very long-lasting base of amber woods, oud and moss — and notes the line sells as 75 ml extrait at £195.
