If you're a perfume collector in Selangor and Zimaya is the next brand on your list, this post is for you. We're looking at two 100ml EDPs from the house — Hawwa Red for women and Itqan Noir for men — and both are pitched at evening wear: special occasions, formal functions, that sort of thing. Our weather doesn't cool down much after dark, but evenings still feel different. The sun's gone, you're heading out, and you're probably moving between hot car parks and air-conditioned halls. That's the setting these two are made for.
Hawwa Red by Zimaya
Hawwa Red is a 100ml Eau de Parfum for women, and the store describes it as a sweet floral fruity fragrance crafted for modern, elegant women. The opening is juicy red berries and peach. In the heart you get rose and jasmine, and it settles into a warm base of vanilla and musk. Feminine and romantic is the overall vibe.
- Top notes: Red Berries, Peach
- Heart notes: Rose, Jasmine
- Base notes: Vanilla, Musk
For collectors, this is the feminine sweet-floral slot in a Zimaya collection. The store lists it for casual, everyday, formal and special occasion wear, so it isn't a one-evening-only bottle — but with that warm vanilla and musk base, evenings are where it makes the most sense. If a sweet, fruity-floral scent is missing from your shelf, this one fills the gap.
Itqan Noir by Zimaya
Itqan Noir is the men's option: a 100ml Eau de Parfum described as a modern woody amber fragrance for confident, elegant men. It opens with crisp bergamot and cardamom, moves into a heart of lavender and cedarwood, and finishes with deep amber, patchouli and musk. The character is elegant and masculine.
- Top notes: Bergamot, Cardamom
- Heart notes: Lavender, Cedarwood
- Base notes: Amber, Patchouli, Musk
Same deal on versatility — the store lists it for everyday, special occasion, casual and formal wear. For collectors, it's the darker, masculine side of the brand, and that amber, patchouli and musk base gives it evening-ready depth without feeling too heavy on a humid night in Malaysia.
Which one belongs in your collection?
Since one is for women and one is for men, this isn't really a head-to-head — it depends on whose shelf the bottle is going on. If you collect feminine fragrances, Hawwa Red brings the sweet floral fruity profile with that warm vanilla and musk finish. If it's a masculine bottle you're hunting for, Itqan Noir covers you with its woody amber character. What's neat is that both share musk in the base, so they sit in similar territory even though their profiles are worlds apart. Both are 100ml EDPs, and the store says both suit Malaysia's tropical weather. For evening wear in Selangor, just pick based on the wearer: Hawwa Red for the women, Itqan Noir for the men.
