INEKAS SOLIS

12/09/2025: You guys weren't lying about this, I just sprayed it a minute ago and I love it so far. I was shocked and my eyes popped out. It smells good on strip but 10X better on skin. Coming from someone who hated many pistachio perfumes i tried and got "cleaning spray" from most of them, I'm grateful this was a win. I'm a gourmand girl and always wanted a pistachio ice cream scent like the ice cream from Birds of Paradise in Singapore. This isn't that lactonic creamy ice cream kind of perfume but I still love it so so so much. The pistachio isn't synthetic smelling (like Mykonos' Pistachio Cream Cake which I'm so glad i smelled and didn't buy). I can actually smell pistachio in this which makes me so happy. It does come off more powdery on the dry down which I don't mind right now. It isn't like the opening of Kayali's (which i sampled in store and did not enjoy cause of the green opening, sorry!) The only other pistachio scent I sampled and likes was Elysia's Pista but I like this more! It's just smoother and soo much more well blended. I came from multiple reviews but TBY82's tiktok recommendation and Bongi Cekuse's video (https://youtu.be/DZmdVhoPqDo?feature=shared&t=358) sold it for me. Her experience with the scent was exactly what I just experienced. Aa a gourmand lover I would go the other way than the previous reviewer, I would layer this on top something vanilla, maybe vanilla voyage! I just did vanilla cashmere > choco musk oil > zimaya solis, it smells good! I'm not good at describing perfumes but I just want to say that I like this. I can't stop smelling my arm. I am so thankful this blind buy was a win. Will update how it develops. Update 1: While I love this to bits the longevity is not there right now! I find my slef spraying the inside of my hoodie and wrapping it around myself to take it all in haha. Maybe projects a good 1 - 2 hours at the moment. I hope it gets stronger with time because the fragrance is just too good.

One of my favorite YouTubers was waxing poetic about this, and when I looked it up it was sold out! She said this was the best Yum Pistachio dupe, and I would have to agree. I smelled Khair pistachio in the mall a few months ago, it was too sweet but i couldn’t get it out of my mind. I been craving nutty frags all winter, Elie Saabs Girl Of Now, Diors Poison Girl, and now, this. They got rid of that saccharine sugar that dominates Khair Pistachio and replaced it with a syrupy sweetness that brings out the nuttiness, and the cardamom siiiiiiings. This is delicious, but don’t pay more than $25 for it in the states. I fell asleep with it on and could smell traces of it when I woke up 5 hours later. Two sprays on the back of my hand gives me delicious wafts as I move around the house. This likes the cold, it flies on the cold air more than in the warm. I don’t think it projects more than a foot. Lasts like 5 hours. Bottle is beautiful, iridescent glass with a gold top it looks nice on the vanity. Zimaya you got my faith back after that Musk Is Great mess. I was ready to never buy from this brand again, but Inekas Solis renews my faith in the brand. Zimaya is an offshoot from Afnan.

Oh wow. I'm shocked. This is hands down the absolute best interpretation of this DNA. This is it. None of that pounding, headache inducing bergamot that smells like air freshner and toilet cleaner in Khair and YPG. This smells like a drydown of Khair and YPG when they've sat for hours and all the bergamot and citrus have evaporated. This is lovely, creamy, soft, fluffy, sweet, nutty cardamom goodness. This actually feels like a creamy gelato melting during summer. Opening has a pistachio note but mid and drydown is an absolute perfection of a pistachio-marshmallow-cardamom heaven. This is what I wanted in this fragrance. I wouldn't call this soapy at ALL but it does have a bit of coolness to it which is why I think this would work during warmer months as well. The bottle is stunning, it looks like a 300€ bottle, iridescent with a gorgeous green plate and a heavy metal magnetic cap. This not even 'good for its price point' this is one of the most well blended frags I tried. For 20€??? I'm in disbelief. Girl go get it. Especially if you didn't like the soapiness and harshness od YPG and Khair.

This perfume is suuuuupper delicious. I agree with some that you need to spray it and then let it settle. When you first spray it, is very vibrant and kind of sparkling. Then it settles like a delicious vanilla ice cream with marshmallow (very realistic, believe me it smells like pure vanilla ice cream). I need to congratulate the nose behind this perfume.

Such a pretty fragrance and the bottle is beautiful! IS is very similar to YPG with YPG being slightly greener or fresher. I didn't see a real need to let my bottle mature as the juice was beautiful upon first spray. But I have to say, since I have had my bottle almost a year now, strength and longevity have definitely improved. Bravo Zimaya - well done!!
