Zimaya Reserved Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Reserved Oud opens with Oud and Lavender, settles into a heart of Musk, Powdery, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Herbal, Amber, and Cotton Candy. Zimaya's Reserved Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This perfume is a surprisingly classy, budget-friendly oud-vanilla blend that punches well above its weight. It's not perfect and can lean a bit synthetic, but for the price, it's a solid, warm, modern take on a classic profile that many will adore.

About

Reserved Oud opens with a fresh, aromatic burst of lavender intermingled with a soft, inviting oud. As it settles, a sweet, powdery vanilla emerges, wrapped in a clean musk that adds a comforting depth. The dry down introduces a unique twist with a subtle herbal backdrop and a playful hint of cotton candy, all grounded by a rich, warm amber, creating a multifaceted, alluring scent experience.
