Itqan Noir vs Hawwa Pink: Office Wear in Selangor

If you're working in Selangor and want one bottle you can reach for on office days, Zimaya has two EDPs that keep coming up: Itqan Noir for men and Hawwa Pink for women. Both are 100ml Eau de Parfum, and both are described as handling Malaysia's tropical weather. The tricky part is that they're built for completely different moods, so the right pick depends on what you want to wear from 9 to 5.

Itqan Noir by Zimaya

Itqan Noir is a men's EDP described as a modern woody amber fragrance for confident, elegant men. The opening is crisp bergamot and cardamom, the heart blends lavender and cedarwood, and the base settles into deep amber, patchouli and musk. Overall, the aroma is elegant and masculine — the kind of profile that reads well in a meeting room.

Its occasion list is one of the widest you'll see: everyday, casual, formal and special occasion. That formal tag is what makes it a natural office candidate, and since everyday wear is in there too, a casual Friday won't feel awkward. It's also listed for wear across the whole year, including the hot months, so a humid morning commute in Shah Alam followed by a cold, air-conditioned office is all covered by the same bottle.

Hawwa Pink by Zimaya

Hawwa Pink is the women's option, a floral, fruity and woody fragrance. It opens with litchi, rose, pear and bergamot, then the heart brings in Turkish rose and peony. The base is white musk, woody notes and Haitian vetiver, described as a warm yet delicate trail.

Where it earns its office spot is the occasion list: everyday and special occasion. It's positioned for daytime wear, so it sits comfortably in a workspace. The fruity-rosy opening keeps things bright, while the musky, woody base keeps it from being too sweet or too loud when you're sharing a desk area with the whole team.

So which one should you get?

Both bottles share a few things: 100ml of EDP, a bergamot opening, and woody tones somewhere in the structure. Everything else points you in a clear direction:

Who it's for: Itqan Noir is for men; Hawwa Pink is for women.
Scent direction: Itqan Noir goes woody amber with lavender and spice; Hawwa Pink goes floral-fruity with rose, litchi and pear.
Office fit: Itqan Noir explicitly lists formal among its occasions; Hawwa Pink leans on everyday and daytime wear.
Vibe: one is an elegant, masculine profile; the other is a vibrant, feminine bloom.

If you want the more dressed-up, formal-leaning option for the office, Itqan Noir is the clearer choice. If your office days run more everyday-casual and you prefer something fruity and floral, Hawwa Pink fits that brief. Either way, you're choosing between two well-defined profiles rather than two versions of the same scent — and that's honestly the easiest kind of decision to make.
