Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Impulse Oud
Prepare for a beast - Zimaya Impulse Oud is a powerhouse, offering a sophisticated, sweet rose and powdery oud experience. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent for some, but if you're after massive projection and longevity, this one's a champion.

Our Verdict - Sonia
Sonia is a divisive floral that splits opinion right down the middle. Some find its soapy, woody drydown absolutely captivating, calling it classy and sophisticated, while others dismiss it as a synthetic air freshener that belongs in the bin.

Season and Occasion Fit

Impulse Oud

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its enormous projection and longevity, this fragrance is best reserved for formal events or date nights where it can truly shine without overwhelming. It's too potent for casual wear or the office, as many describe it as a 'room filler'.

Sonia

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its strong projection and impressive longevity in the initial hours make it a bit much for close-quarters office wear. However, its sophisticated and clean character, particularly in the drydown, makes it suitable for casual wear or an evening out, though perhaps less so for highly formal events.
