“Angels' Share on steroids — dates, praline, and a vanilla base that fills a room.”
Imran Fazlani's 2023 extrait for Zimaya is a boozy spiced gourmand: dates and saffron open onto a vanilla-praline heart, settling on tonka and benzoin. The composition reads as a dense, liqueur-like sweetness with warm spice up top and amber-woody depth below. The dates add a dark, dried-fruit richness. Wears strongest in winter and fall, evening-leaning, with a heavy presence.
The take
What works
- ●Angels' Share with the volume up — dates and ramped vanilla make it richer than the original
- ●Extrait concentration means huge projection and all-day longevity
- ●Praline-vanilla heart is dessert-warm without tipping into cloying
Trade-offs
- ●The date-vanilla sweetness pushes it further from a true 1:1 clone
- ●Too heavy for anything but cold nights
