Itqan Noir vs Hawwa Pink: Best Zimaya Perfumes for Office Wear in Sabah

If you're based in Sabah and looking for a Zimaya perfume you can wear to the office, this one's for you. We're comparing two 100ml EDPs from the brand – one made for men, one for women – so whether you're shopping for yourself or picking something up for your partner, you'll know exactly what each one brings before you order. Sabah days are hot and humid, and most of us move between sticky outdoors and freezing aircon offices, so that's the setting here.

Itqan Noir – the men's pick

Itqan Noir is a 100ml Eau de Parfum for men, described as a modern woody amber fragrance made for confident, elegant guys. It opens with crisp bergamot and cardamom, moves into a heart of lavender and cedarwood, and settles into a base of amber, patchouli and musk. The store's own notes call the aroma elegant and masculine, and say it fits Malaysia's tropical weather – which matters when your walk to work is hot and the office itself is ice cold.

For office wear, the listed occasions help a lot: everyday, casual, formal and special occasion. That formal tag is the big one if your workplace leans smart or you've got meetings and presentations coming up. And at 100ml, daily use won't empty the bottle quickly.

Hawwa Pink – the women's pick

Hawwa Pink is a 100ml Eau de Parfum for women, built on a floral, fruity and woody profile. The opening mixes litchi, rose, pear and bergamot, the heart brings Turkish rose and peony, and the base wraps up with white musk, woody notes and Haitian vetiver. It's described as vibrant and feminine, ideal for daytime wear or dates.

For the office, its listed occasions are everyday and special occasion. If your workplace is more relaxed – think creative roles, retail, teaching or casual Fridays – that litchi and pear opening keeps the mood bright without feeling heavy.

Itqan Noir or Hawwa Pink – how to choose

• Who's wearing it: Itqan Noir is for men, Hawwa Pink is for women. That's the first filter, and it settles half the decision straight away.
• Scent style: Itqan Noir leans woody amber with lavender and musk underneath. Hawwa Pink is floral and fruity with rose right up front.
• Office vibe: Itqan Noir lists formal among its occasions, so it's the safer choice for stricter dress codes. Hawwa Pink fits everyday wear where the atmosphere is lighter.
• Beyond work: both cover everyday use. Itqan Noir also lists special occasions, and Hawwa Pink is described as a nice pick for dates.

Both come as 100ml EDPs, so concentration and size are even. The real difference is direction: darker and masculine versus bright and feminine. Pick based on who's wearing it and how formal your Sabah office actually is.

Quick recap

Men in Sabah who want one bottle that covers the office and the rest of the week: Itqan Noir. Women who want something floral, fruity and easy for daytime: Hawwa Pink. Two different moods from the same brand, both in 100ml EDP.
