Zukhruf Black
Zimaya is a Dubai-based niche fragrance house known for creating bold, accessible interpretations of Middle Eastern oud and oriental aesthetics. The brand focuses on rich, indulgent compositions that balance traditional regional influences with contemporary fragrance sensibilities.
Zukhruf Black opens with a sharp spice blend of black pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg that cuts through a bright grapefruit top note, immediately establishing a warm, slightly edgy character. The heart settles into a coffee-forward composition layered with iris and lavender, grounding the spice with a creamy, slightly herbaceous quality. The base anchors everything in amber, vanilla, and sandalwood, while licorice adds a subtle sweetness and structural cohesion. The overall profile is a gourmand-oriental with woody undertones, leaning warm and powdery throughout.
This is a fragrance for someone drawn to edible, comfort-forward scents with enough spice and structure to avoid feeling overly sweet. It works well in cooler months and evening settings, where the coffee and vanilla notes can settle into skin properly. The composition suggests an appreciation for complexity over simplicity, and the warm spice backbone gives it genuine personality. Best suited for those exploring The Romantic, The Hedonist, and The Homesteader profiles.
