Zimaya Royal Leather is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Royal Leather opens with Mate, Leather, and Juniper, settles into a heart of Amber, Oud, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Rose, Saffron, and Praline. Zimaya's Royal Leather carries an Acquired verdict, a leather-led wear.

Divisive and unique, this isn't for everyone. Expect a challenging but rewarding wear, where creamy sweetness clashes with earthy mystery. Not a safe blind-buy, but a cult classic for those who get it.

About

An opening blast of sharp juniper and herbal mate gives way to a complex heart where the promised leather struggles to break through, instead settling into a dark, earthy gourmand. Warm amber and rich oud mingle with sweet tonka, leading to a base of powdery praline, delicate rose, and exotic saffron, with hints of bitter dark chocolate lingering on the skin.
