Itqan Noir vs Hawwa Pink: Best Zimaya Woody Perfumes for Collectors in Selangor

If you're a perfume collector in Selangor, you know evenings are when the interesting bottles come out of the cabinet. Zimaya has two EDPs that fit that mood nicely: Itqan Noir for men and Hawwa Pink for women. Both come in 100ml, both are eau de parfum, and each one sits in a completely different scent corner. Here's what the notes actually say, so you can decide which one earns a spot on your shelf.

Itqan Noir by Zimaya: woody amber for men

Itqan Noir is a 100ml EDP described as a modern woody amber fragrance made for confident men. The opening is bergamot and cardamom, so it starts crisp with a gentle kick. The heart brings in lavender and cedarwood, and the base settles on amber, patchouli and musk.

That structure is why it makes sense for evening wear. Its occasions list covers everyday, casual, formal and special occasions, so it's flexible, but the amber, patchouli and musk base is what makes it feel right once the sun goes down. If your evenings involve dinners, events or anything on the formal side, this is the one of the two that leans that way. The store description even says it fits Malaysia's tropical weather, so our heat isn't a problem here.

Hawwa Pink by Zimaya: floral and fruity for women

Hawwa Pink is a 100ml EDP for women, and its fragrance family is floral, fruity and woody. The opening is litchi, rose, pear and bergamot, so it kicks off bright and fruity. The heart is where it gets romantic, with Turkish rose and peony. Then it settles into white musk, woody notes and Haitian vetiver for a base that's warm but still soft.

Its occasions list covers everyday wear and special occasions, and the store text mentions dates as well as daytime use. For evenings, that Turkish rose and peony heart gives it enough character to hold its own at dinners and gatherings. If you'd rather have an evening scent that's feminine and lively, this is the pick.

Which one should you go for?

It really comes down to two things: who's wearing it and what mood you want.

• Gender: Itqan Noir is made for men, Hawwa Pink is made for women. That alone sorts out most shoppers.
• Scent direction: Itqan Noir goes woody amber with lavender, cedarwood and musk. Hawwa Pink goes floral and fruity with rose and litchi up front.
• Evening mood: Itqan Noir suits formal evenings and special occasions with its amber and musk base. Hawwa Pink suits evenings where you want something brighter and more romantic.
• The practical bit: both are 100ml EDPs, so you get the same size and concentration either way.

For collectors, here's the nice part: these two don't overlap at all. One is amber and masculine, the other is floral and fruity, so they fill different gaps in a Zimaya collection rather than sitting side by side smelling alike.
