Taraf White & Rabab Blue: Best Zimaya Amber Perfumes for Collectors in Penang

If you're a perfume collector in Penang and you like something for the evenings, Zimaya has two 100ml EDPs worth a proper look: Taraf White and Rabab Blue. Both carry amber in the heart, but they take you in two very different directions — one soft and floral, one fresh and marine. Here's how they compare, so you can decide which one earns a spot on your shelf.

Taraf White by Zimaya

Taraf White is a 100ml Eau de Parfum made for women. It opens with soft jasmine and rose, then blends into a creamy heart of vanilla and amber, and finishes with smooth white musk and sandalwood. So the amber here sits in a warm, sweet-floral frame rather than standing on its own.

• Top notes: Jasmine, Rose
• Heart notes: Vanilla, Amber
• Base notes: White Musk, Sandalwood

The store describes it as elegant and feminine, and that's the vibe you get from the note list too. It's listed for special occasions and formal events, which makes it a natural pick for dinners and evening plans — but everyday and casual wear are on the list as well, so it's not a bottle that only comes out once in a while. The store also says it suits Malaysia's tropical weather, which matters when you're getting dressed in Penang humidity.

For a collector, this is the softer, feminine side of the pair. If your shelf leans floral and you want a graceful evening scent with a soft, slightly sweet finish, this one's the obvious candidate.

Rabab Blue by Zimaya

Rabab Blue is a 100ml Eau de Parfum made for both men and women. It opens with sparkling bergamot and marine notes, moves into a heart of amber and jasmine, and finishes with warm musk and sandalwood. The store calls it a fresh aquatic oriental — so you get freshness up top, with a warm amber and musk foundation underneath.

• Top notes: Bergamot, Marine Notes
• Heart notes: Amber, Jasmine
• Base notes: Musk, Sandalwood

It's listed for casual, formal, special occasion and everyday wear, so like Taraf White, it covers your evening plans without being locked to them. The store also says it performs beautifully in Malaysia's tropical weather — useful when the evening air in Penang is still warm and sticky.

For collectors, this one brings something different: a fresh, unisex opening that the floral bottles in a collection usually won't have. And if you like owning one bottle that works for anyone in the house, it ticks that box too.

Taraf White or Rabab Blue for your evening shelf?

Both are 100ml EDPs from the same brand, both have amber in the heart, and both are listed for formal and special occasions — so for evening wear, neither is a wrong answer. The difference is the opening and the mood. Taraf White starts soft and floral with jasmine and rose, and it's made for women. Rabab Blue starts fresh and sparkling with bergamot and marine notes, and it's unisex. If your collection needs a graceful, feminine evening scent, go Taraf White. If you want a fresher take on the same warm amber base that anyone can wear, Rabab Blue is your pick. Some collectors just get both — two moods, one brand, the same amber heart.
