Itqan Noir

I wanted to wait a month or two before giving this a review. I was very intrigued by this as YSL MYSLF Le Parfum was one of the only scents my wife outright loved. I had a travel size of that and took it along to vacation, and she loved it on me. I wasn’t a fan of Le Parfums longevity so I never bought a full size. I decided to look for a dupe and I purchased this! I do think it needs maceration due to some syntheticness, but not for too long about 2 months for me.. This is a good combination of Myslf EDP opening and Le Parfum dry down and out lasts Le Parfum by ALOT. I did multiple tests with the real thing on one wrist and Itqan on the other and Itqan won every-time in terms of longevity. Give Itqan about an hour on skin for it to really shine as a head to head competitor with Le Parfum This does fall on the sweeter side before maceration and I think does best in spring and fall. It’s very unisex so for me during the summer I like a bit more masculine leaning scents. Bubble for 3 hours 8 hours on skin 8.5/10 - a must have if you like le parfum - only cons is the initial syntheticness and sweetness in high heat. Recommend layering

Edit 12/19/2025: Editing over my original review because I have a bit more to say after having owned my bottle for over a year. Itqan Noir is a fantastic take on the YSL MYSLF scent profile. I am a big fan of YSL MYSLF and got so excited when I found out Zimaya had put out their own take of the fragrance. I went ahead and tested this scent alongside the EDP and Parfum versions of MYSLF. What I fond was that Itqan Noir most closely resembles the EDP version of MYSLF, both in opening and dry-down. The scent is very fresh, clean, and citric with the main note that I pick up being the orange blossom. Performance is excellent, I noted moderate projection for about 4 or so hours and longevity going for upwards of 8 hours. Please check this fragrance out if you get a chance. Its quality for the price is insane.

1 to 1 clone of ysl myself edp. it opens with this subtitle bergamot that masterfully transitions to that orange blossom for the rest of its performance. I had friends wearing ysl myself that stole my bottle of itqan noir to respray themselves in the middle of the day. Would recommend keeping the bottle on you because the performance isn’t very good, on my skin it was more like 2 and a half hours projecting, 5 hour skin scent but it’s a cheapie so spray away. Atomizer is very good, almost pressurized.My experience with performance might be inaccurate because i’m going off the very first couple sprays of the bottle which might not be as concentrated. Could not recommend enough.

In my humble opinion, this fragrance is a hybrid between the EDP and Le Parfum Myslf. When I bought it and quickly sprayed it, it wasn't refined because of the synthetic PLASTIC smell which was overwhelming. I let it sit for more than a month then it became smooth like the myslf EDP. Great value and very versatile. Smells like you got your life together and ladies like this DNA. I will lean to this more (but let it mature and macerate) than the ysl myslf edp because it's expensive and doesn't perform really well but its scent is great though. Definitely an 8/10 because its cheap and closely resembles myslf. Generic nose won't know the difference.

Zimaya Itqan Noir completely exceeded my expectations—this is an incredibly well-done clone that comes very close to the original. From the very first spray, it captures the same luxurious vibe and DNA, making it a fantastic alternative without breaking the bank. What really impressed me is the performance. It projects nicely without being overpowering, and the longevity is outstanding—I easily get 8-10 hours of solid wear, with a beautiful dry-down that lingers on skin and clothes. If you’re looking for a high-quality dupe that actually lasts and smells refined, Itqan Noir is 100% worth checking out. Zimaya really nailed it with this one.
