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!!

First of all the packaging is top tier. The bottle is a heavy iridescent glass that screams luxe. The fragrance is a beautifully stunning take on Yum Pistachio Gelato. I don't know why this is not being talked about more.....Zimaya is definitely making a name for itself. I'll be ordering more. Paris Corner they are coming for y'all necks!!!

Beautiful! and so well blended. I would say its closer to Affection than Yum Pistachio Gelato. But Affection has a synthetic plastic feel and Inekas does not. But also not as creamy as YPG which i prefer. So smooth and sweet!! I love it. Best dupe out there hands down. Great for Sprint/Summer also.

I bought this in November, and although it had a beautiful ethereal powdered sugar and green nutty vibe, there was this Johnson’s baby wash note that put me off. I gave it to my mum. Then over the next month, I sampled a few more pistachio fragrances, all way more soapy, and they began to grow on me. But I couldn’t stop thinking about Inekas Solis. So I asked my mum if I could swap it back.... She gave it away! 🤦♀️ So here I am buying another bottle! lol! It should teach me, let them sit a while before judging. It really is very pretty.

creamy, very sweet, pleasant, great projection, I can't really detect singular notes like pistachio or pear, maybe there is a hint of them if you know what you're lookin for, and it's good right from the start. personally I would wear a spray or two of this and layer it with something citrusy fruity and less sweet. price is low $18 and presentation 10/10

Gave this one to my beautiful sister whose the most beautiful woman I've ever met and this smells lovely with her chemistry 🌸 Nutty, airy almost in a berried way and cool like an ice cream breeze as they open them to serve you a cool and velvety pistaccio gelato. This is not thick, this is a breeze of nutty sweetness balanced by some airy coolness.

the bottle is beautiful, the fragrance is nice, I wear it together with Sol de Janeiro 62 or Pistachio body mist from Bruno Banani. I also have Minya from Paris Corner, but I think this one is much better and the bottle is so much better. It is all in the same DNA, so you can layer them together.

This is shockingly good for 18 bucks. I literally can’t stop sniffing my arm. It’s a creamy pistachio scent with a hint of vanilla. This is a must-buy for gourmand lovers. Although it’s technically unisex, it leans very feminine so I'll probably end up gifting my bottle to a friend.

smells nice creamy and sweet but its obnoxiously strong, just by sniffing the sprayer it will be stuck in your nose for ages which is definitely not good for you, idk why would they make it this toxic

I have been waiting for three weeks to get anything interesting from this perfume. It keeps giving me the impression of sweet cream in the opening and body lotion in the heart - nice and boring. However, my mother loved it. Probably this perfume needs a warm skin.

I have both Khair Pistachio and Inekas Solis. If you're trying to figure out which to buy, then here is the breakdown: Khair Pistachio is a very non-western style gourmand. The pistachio ice cream is not a traditional mild milky American pistachio ice cream nor is it a dense sweet European gelato. Instead, it's more along the lines of a saffron spiced, rose influenced Kesar Pista Indian style ice cream or even a falooda from the Persian tradition. Khair Pistachio is very nutty, very creamy, and yet those spicy notes give it an aromatic feel that is actually refreshing on warm days. In terms of longevity, Khair Pistachio lasts much longer than the perfume that inspired it (Kayali Yum Pistachio) but keep in mind that with this specific scent profile, it's simply not going to have the longevity that perfumes with heavy base notes are going to have. Inekas Solis, in contrast, puts much greater emphasis on a more western-styled ice cream note. Think Sol Chierosa. Inekas Solis is more so the perfume version of Sol Chierosa's popular pistachio themed body spray than a note for note dupe of Kayali Yum. It's much longer lasting than Sol Chierosa but in terms of longevity in comparison to Khair Pistachio, it does not have the same imprint. My conclusion: I like having both. Thus far, I tend to spray Inekas Solis with abandon like a much longer lasting version of the body spray from Sol Chierosa's Bum Bum line. I would spend the money on Inekas Solis rather than buying the Sol Chierosa body spray in fact---Inekas Solis seems more affordably priced despite being labeled an eau de parfum (I would characterize it more as an eau de toilette or even a cologne). Given that, in terms of longevity and overall effect, it's a much better use of your money than Sol Chierosa. I could see spraying Inekas Solis in the same manner of abandon even during the height of summer's heat and in casual settings such as a day at the beach. It's watery feeling, yet has depth. It is very gourmand, yet is refreshing. It's casual and what you wear for daily living (running errands, etc.) or relaxing (a day at the beach). I admit the bottle aesthetic is better than Kayali Yum Pistachio, Khair Pistachio, and Sol Chierosa. The bottle has a heavy base, which is good because this is one of those perfumes where you take the entire bottle and just throw it in your tote for a warm day out. You can drench yourself in it throughout the day and it will never be too much. In contrast, I put Khair Pistachio into the same category as Kayali Yum Pistachio in it being a much more dressed up scent of the day. It's more similar in terms of notes and I actually consider Khair Pistachio to be in the category of a fully fleshed eau de parfum that is better than Kayali Yum Pistachio in terms of longevity and execution. Paris Corner has the non-western-style gourmand down pat, and its dupes always last longer and have a better execution than the original. I can say the same about their version of Wedding Silk Santal (Khair Felicity). This is one of those perfumes that you decant into a small sample bottle and put into your makeup bag so that you can touch up perhaps at specific times but not too much. Verdict: Get both. If Khair is an EDP, then Inekas Solis is an EDT. If you like that scent profile (yummy ice cream pistachio theme), just get both. They will both have a place in your life.

Wow -- it's almost unfathomable how something this good can cost so little. It's a feminine leaning unisex fragrance but if you got a bit of confidence, no one will question you as a man wearing this. It's a lightweight gourmand with a slight floral edge. Absolutely wonderful, nutty, creamy composition. The cardamom-pistachio-tonka combination is to die for, I'm surprised at how well the notes are composed in relation to each other. It is well blended but it's also easy to separate the individual notes. It's not particularly warm -- a bit chilly and breezy. It would be perfect for spring.

Very very Yummy, it’s been a while since I bought an Arabian scent that didn’t need any maceration. It is beautiful right from the go, sweet, very pleasant, and the bottle is beautiful. Can’t smell any nuttiness maybe it does need a little bit of time however it’s very very lovely from the first opening.

This scent is exactly like So Delicious from Novelista which l love very much. I'm very picky about dupes, I hardly find them similar to the original, but this, this is exactly the same. Since it's Zimaya is so much cheaper, I'll buy this instead of SD. Bravo Zimaya! 😍

I’ve had this for over a year now and only now it has become very good. Initially it smelled very cheap and a little sharp. It is better now. Creamy sandalwood has become the star of the show and I like it.It gives it buttery creamy feel in the dry down

This is amazing. I you didn't like Kayali's soapy, fresh, almost grassy opening this is purely the drydown of that fragrance, but more creamy, more sweet, more nutty. This is what I wanted that perfume to be, it's a gem.

Hmm, exact notes as Afnan. Who did it better?

Khair pistachio Is cheaper i think
