Penang evenings have their own mood — dinner in George Town, a wedding function, a night event at a hotel ballroom. If you're after a Zimaya perfume for nights like these, this guide looks at two options that both have musk sitting in the base: Siada Nova and Sharaf The Club. One is unisex, one is for men, and both are 100 ml bottles. Let's break them down.
Siada Nova by Zimaya
Siada Nova is a unisex Eau de Parfum in a 100 ml bottle, so it's made to be shared between the guys and the girls. The store describes it as smooth and soft — it opens with bergamot and jasmine, moves into a heart of amber and cashmere wood, then settles into vanilla, white musk and a hint of patchouli.
- Top notes: bergamot, jasmine
- Heart notes: amber, cashmere wood
- Base notes: vanilla, white musk, patchouli
The overall trail is warm and elegant, and it's described as a scent that suits both men and women. On the occasions front, it's listed for special occasions, formal events and everyday wear, which makes it pretty flexible — you can wear it to a formal dinner one night and keep it in rotation on normal days too. The store also says it suits Malaysian weather, so a humid Penang night shouldn't throw it off.
Sharaf The Club by Zimaya
Sharaf The Club is the men's option here, and it comes in an Extrait de Parfum — a more concentrated format than an EDP — also in 100 ml. It opens with cardamom and citrus, has amber and lavender in the heart, and finishes with musk and patchouli.
- Top notes: cardamom, citrus
- Heart notes: amber, lavender
- Base notes: musk, patchouli
The store describes it as a woody amber fragrance with a masculine vibe, made for bold, confident men. Its occasions list is wide — everyday, casual, formal and special occasions — and the store specifically says it's made for Malaysia's tropical weather, so our heat and humidity are already part of the plan, not an afterthought.
Siada Nova or Sharaf The Club?
Both perfumes actually share a few things: musk and patchouli in the base, plus amber in the middle. The difference is what surrounds them. Siada Nova wraps its musk in vanilla and soft florals like jasmine, so it feels smoother and sweeter. Sharaf The Club puts spice from the cardamom and citrus up front, with lavender in the heart, so the opening comes across more masculine and sharper.
A practical way to decide: if you want one bottle for the household, or you prefer a softer, vanilla-leaning musk, Siada Nova is your pick. If you're buying for a man and want something spicier in a higher concentration, go with Sharaf The Club. For formal evenings — weddings, dinners, events — both list formal and special occasions, so either one works. Air-conditioned ballroom or an open-air spot by the sea, you're covered.
