Zimaya Oscar is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Imran Fazlani. Oscar opens with Orange, Cardamom, and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Pepper, Tonka Bean, Incense, and Caramel, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vetiver. Zimaya's Oscar carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is a seriously impressive scent for the price, a real crowd-pleaser that punches well above its weight. While some find it derivative, for most, it's a 'no-brainer' blind buy that delivers compliments and a surprising level of sophistication.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Prepare for a bright, zesty opening of clary sage and orange, quickly softened by a warm, buttery caramel. This sweetness is beautifully balanced by the subtle warmth of Tonka bean and a hint of smoky incense. As it settles, a clean, musky vetiver provides a smooth, grounded finish, preventing it from becoming overly sweet. It's a journey from vibrant citrus to a rich, aromatic dry down.
