Zimaya Royal Paragon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. The fragrance opens with Lavender, Apple, Bergamot, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Violet, Jasmine, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Pepper, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Guaiac Wood.

Our verdict on Royal Paragon: Favourite

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.
