Zimaya Wujood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Wujood opens with Pepper, Vanilla, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Musk, Saffron, and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Amber. Zimaya's Wujood carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a creamy, sexy vanilla amber; for others, it's a medicinal, synthetic mess that smells like bug spray or even an exploding tire. Give it time to macerate, apparently, and see if it performs a magic trick. Not for the faint of heart, or nose.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Given its strong projection and potential for being divisive, Wujood isn't ideal for the office. It leans towards evening and colder weather wear, making it a good fit for dates or more casual social gatherings where its unique character can shine. It could work for some formal events, but it might be too 'out there' for others.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Wujood opens with a spicy, almost rubbery hit of black pepper and elemi, quickly evolving into a warm, inviting heart of musky saffron and smoky frankincense. The drydown is dominated by a rich, creamy vanilla and amber, though some detect a persistent artificial or plastic note. It's a complex, sweet, and resinous scent profile.
