If you're in Ipoh and you've been eyeing Zimaya perfumes, here are two that both finish with musk in the base: Siada Regal and Ode to Rose Bella. That shared musk is what this post is built around, but the two scents get there in very different ways. One is a bright, fruity unisex EDP. The other is an oriental floral made for women. Here's what each one is about, and which one makes more sense for hot, humid days.
Siada Regal
Siada Regal is a unisex Eau de Parfum in a 100ml bottle, so it's one for both men and women. It opens with mango, red berries, ginger and bergamot, which gives it a bright and fruity start. The heart brings in pink pepper, jasmine and coumarin, and the base is where the musk sits — alongside amber, cedarwood, vetiver and moss. So you get a fruity-spicy opening before the scent settles into something woody and musky.
On the occasions side, the store lists it for special occasions and formal events. The seasons it's listed for include Summer, and that matters here. Ipoh doesn't do cold mornings, so a perfume that lists Summer is a natural fit for daytime wear in our heat. And because the opening is fruity rather than heavy, it doesn't feel like too much when the sun is blazing.
Ode to Rose Bella
Ode to Rose Bella is a women's Eau de Parfum, also in a 100ml bottle, and its fragrance family is Oriental Floral. Cherry and rose lead the opening, then the heart moves to pink pepper and tonka bean. The base is patchouli, vanilla and musk, so the musk here arrives with a sweeter, warmer finish than the one in Siada Regal.
It's listed for evening wear, special events and daily wear. Since it's a richer oriental floral, it makes the most sense after sunset, for dinner plans, or inside air-conditioned offices and malls. For daily use, that works too — just think about where your day actually takes you.
So which one should you go for?
Both perfumes list musk in the base, so if a musky finish is what you're after, both fit. The real difference is the journey:
- Go for Siada Regal if you like fruity and spicy scents with a woody, musky base, and you want something for formal or special occasions — including daytime in hot weather, since Summer is one of its listed seasons.
- Go for Ode to Rose Bella if rose and cherry sound more like you, and you'd rather have a sweet vanilla and patchouli base for evenings and daily wear.
One more thing worth knowing: Siada Regal is the unisex option, so it works if you plan to share the bottle or simply don't care about gender labels. Ode to Rose Bella is the one listed specifically for women. Both are 100ml EDPs, so in terms of size and concentration they're on equal footing — it really comes down to the scent style and when you plan to wear them.
