Zimaya Zukhruf Black is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Zukhruf Black opens with Grapefruit, Pepper, Cinnamon, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Woody Notes, Iris, Lavender, and Coffee, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Licorice. Zimaya's Zukhruf Black carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Zimaya's Zukhruf Black is a divisive, intoxicating blend that's either a beastly clone of Sauvage Elixir or a headache in a bottle, depending on who you ask. It's a bold, spicy ride, but be warned - some find it sickeningly strong.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Its potent spicy and woody accords, coupled with reports of strong projection and longevity, make it a bit much for the office. However, its sophisticated and sensual character is perfect for dates and evening events, and it's robust enough for casual wear in cooler weather.

About

Zukhruf Black opens with a sharp, spicy kick of pepper, nutmeg, and warm cinnamon, cut through with a hint of bright grapefruit. This quickly deepens into a more complex heart where aromatic lavender and powdery iris meet a dark, intriguing coffee and woody blend. The dry-down is an enveloping embrace of sweet licorice, creamy sandalwood, rich amber, and smooth vanilla, creating a powerful and long-lasting scent trail.
