Character and History of the Fragrance
Zimaya Itqan Gold is a men's eau de parfum released in 2024 by Zimaya, a fragrance house from the UAE.
The fragrance is part of the Itqan Collection, combining Eastern expressiveness with a rich woody character.
Itqan Gold was created for those who appreciate distinctive compositions with a warm, resinous and refined character.
Its mood unfolds gradually: a bright fruity-floral opening gives way to a deep oud heart, while the dry-down leaves a dense balsamic accord with patchouli.
Fragrance Pyramid and Development
The top notes of Itqan Gold revolve around passion fruit and rose.
An exotic sweet-and-sour fruity note adds juiciness and modern energy to the composition, while rose softens the opening with an elegant floral nuance.
Oud takes center stage in the heart, providing the composition's depth, dark woody tone and Eastern character.
As it develops, it becomes fuller and more expressive, retaining the impression of an expensive, rich fragrance trail.
The base combines benzoin and patchouli.
Benzoin lends the fragrance a soft resinous warmth, while patchouli adds a dry woody-earthy facet, making the dry-down long-lasting, textured and memorable.
Style and Wearability
In terms of its olfactory palette, Itqan Gold belongs to the oriental and woody fragrance families, complemented by balsamic, floral and fruity nuances.
This is not a quiet everyday fragrance, but an expressive choice for evenings, cool weather, special occasions and moments when you want to emphasize your individuality.
The fragrance has a very powerful sillage, so it is best applied sparingly.
The exact dosage for application to skin and clothing is not specified, but the rich formula with oud, benzoin and patchouli calls for a measured approach: start with a small amount and assess the scent as it develops.
Itqan Gold is especially well suited to fans of deep oriental compositions with a woody base.
On the skin, it comes across as a confident, warm and noticeable fragrance, contrasting a juicy opening with a dark resinous-woody base.

If you enjoy rich oriental compositions, consider V Canto Curaro, Tiziana Terenzi Mirach and Lancôme L'Autre Oud.
These fragrances share an expressive presentation, noticeable depth and the ability to create an impressive sillage, but each offers its own interpretation of woody and oriental accords.
