Zimaya Royal Paragon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Royal Paragon opens with Bergamot, Lavender, Apple, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Violet, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Guaiac Wood, and Pepper. Zimaya's Royal Paragon carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive and a little cloying for some, this budget-friendly scent will have you smelling like a spicy apple pie, if you can get past the rough opening and let it macerate. For the price, it's a solid contender if you're not after monster projection.

About

Royal Paragon kicks off with a spirited, slightly rough blend of lavender, crisp apple, and zesty bergamot. As it settles, a sweet, powdery violet and geranium heart emerges, but don't get too comfy - a punchy quartet of pepper, cardamom, and guaiac wood joins vanilla and sandalwood for a warm, woody, and decidedly spicy dry down. Think apple pie, but with an unexpected peppery kick.
