Happy Oud

Zimaya

Green · Sweet · Spicy

Zimaya Happy Oud is a smoky, leathery unisex scent built around oud, lavender and saffron. Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, and most voters score them high, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is tentative. It sits between masculine and feminine rather than leaning either way. It opens with oud, mint, lavender and saffron, spicy and green. The heart brings geranium, cedar, jasmine and pink pepper. The base of frankincense, sandalwood, leather and patchouli gives a woody, smoky floor, softened and sweetened by musk and melon.

Infrad Luxe / انفراد

6.6

Zimaya · 2024

Sweet · Synthetic · Gourmand

Zimaya Infrad Luxe is a sweet, gourmand women's fragrance built on vanilla, coconut and caramel. Vanilla comes first. The heart brings coconut, palo santo and caramel; the sweetness turns creamy and soft, while palo santo adds a spicy, woody edge. In the base, sandalwood and white musk settle the scent onto a powdery, warm footing. A synthetic side also shows among the accords. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though few votes back this up, so treat it as a rough guide. Its sweet, oriental character suits those who enjoy gourmand scents.

The base of raspberry, cashmere and vetiver dries down with a distinctly synthetic feel. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though few people have voted, so these ratings are tentative.

Zimaya

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Zimaya Exquisite is a fruity floral women's fragrance that opens on white peach, orange and blackberry and settles into vanilla, musk and amber.
