Tiramisũ Caramel Zimaya 2024

This is a birthday gift from a dear person. My taste has once again been hit spot on, and I am happy to have this fragrance in my collection. Would I have bought this for myself? Probably not, as I already own a great clone of the wonderful Bianco Latte with "Eclaire / اكلاير | Lattafa / لطافة." The DNA is truly fantastic, and it’s no wonder a little hype has started around it. Now that I can compare both, I must say that Zimaya offers the better alternative compared to Lattafa. While both are at a high level, this Tiramisu Caramel is better in every aspect than its counterpart from Lattafa: performance, bottle, packaging, scent DNA. It’s already a great find if you can handle this gourmand caramel DNA. Zimaya seems to be marketed by Afnan, and you can definitely feel the quality. It’s a great brand that deserves at least as much attention as, for example, Lattafa.

The price-performance ratio here is fantastic. Just a really great fragrance that comes in an elegant package, and this bottle includes a magnetic cap. The bottle has the structure and color of a gourmand dessert. Really cool design and feels good in the hand. This is one of two alongside the "Tiramisu Coco | Zimaya."
In terms of scent, this fragrance leans quite well towards the Bianco Latte: gourmand, warm, delicious, and really potent in sillage. This milky-creamy sweet musk note lingers throughout and contributes to this wonderful scent that has already made the "original" famous. As the name suggests, this is a caramel scent, which is noticeable throughout. It’s beautifully gourmand, extremely sweet, but somehow has something that stands out, especially since such DNA is not typically represented in mainstream designer fragrances. The cozy notes of honey and coumarin also play nicely here, keeping this fragrance pleasantly soft in the later stages. The top note is quite powerful with an overdose of caramel-milk-vanilla, which, however, is convincing. This milky vanilla is present throughout. Caramel as well, but becomes noticeably milder in the base. Overall, a great fragrance that, due to its strength, should be applied cautiously on certain occasions. Otherwise, it’s a fantastic scent that shines best in autumn-winter. It works well in the evening but is suitable for many parts of the year. It’s unisex too, even though gourmand is often attributed more to women.
I have extensively tested the performance: the longevity is a solid 15 hours and is still very noticeable in the later stages. I am surprised by this power. The sillage is also extremely potent.

Overall, a wonderful milky-vanilla caramel scent. You don’t really get Tiramisu here, but that’s not a big deal. If you like milk, vanilla, caramel, and a hint of honey, you could get along well with this fragrance.
