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.

This stuff is crazy good, I love YSL MYSLF and it smells good, but not "100$+ good". This is crazy close to MYSLF, just a tad more synthetic. Maybe because the DNA itself is very simple so, because of that it's easy to replicate by clone brand, but this stuff is identical to MYSLF, at least in my nose. And quite frankly, this perform better than the original, maybe because of that amped up synthetic-ness but overall, this is so good for $40

just got the decant of this thing, all i could say is that this is when ysl myslf edp and le parfum had a baby. it is less citrusy than the edp and lil bit sweeter towards the le parfum one. imo this thing is better than the le parfume and the edp one. for the projection and sillage i rate it 6,5/10. last in my skin around 5 to 6 hours, definitely similar performance with the edp version. defo worth to pick up

This is a masterpiece! Smells fresh and clean with solid longevity out of the box. You can wear it for any occasion. The smell is very close to the original MYSLF EDP, but with a small twist, that makes it more interesting and, in my opinion, more likeable. If you like MYSLF EDP, then this is definitely blind buy worthy. Watch out, this could easily be your next signature scent! 😉

Tried YSL myself in the mall a week ago cause “women” apparently love this one and it’s like the new sauvage. Thought it was ok. Decided to by a dupe. And honestly this is YSL myself kinda cranked up a notch right out the box just got today. Not a bad scent at all kinda like a fresh sweet scent. Reminds me a lot of the most wanted EDT but louder

Oh my goodness, this is so nice! There's zero overpowering alcohol smell at the beginning. I have no doubt that if you slapped some mainstream fragrance company (Dior, Chanel, YSL) name on this, it would fetch a hundred dollars or more. Hands down the best low cost fragrance I have, and that says a lot because I have one heck of a collection.

Of all the fragrances I have tried recently, this is my absolute favorite. I can't testify as to its similarity to MYSLF, but if it's even close, I can understand why it's so popular. It's just so bright and shiny and fragrant. Lasts about 5-6 hours, so if you can carry a decant when going out for the night, you'll do very well with it.

This is the best and closest dupe of any fragrance I’ve smelt. I own a full bottle of myslf and zimayas dupe. Didn’t need macerating and I wish I had of kept this and sent the ysl back. Save yourself the difference and just get this. A good office safe floral for men.

Zimaya itqan noir smells just like Myslf EDP, clean laundry white flowery smell, only downside is the projection is so intimate I don't believe I will be getting many compliments, it is lasting on me around 6 hours, I just keep reapplying, for $35 it's so good !

It's similarity's to MYSLF edp is undeniable (90%), smells amazing and this will get you lots of compliments (if that's what you're looking for). This is a fresh fragrance for any occasion, a great blind buy and for the price you can't get wrong.

Im familiar with the YSL myslf DNA, this is that with an Arabic twist. Great projection and trail first 2 hours then calms down and lasts a while on skin. Great inoffensive office fragrance, great blind buy since i loved YSL myslf.

Smells spot on. I tested MYSLF at a fragrance store and liked it, but not at $120 for 100ml. Got this one for $35 and it’s amazing. If you want MYSLF, but don’t want to pay the outrageous price, just get this instead.

Myslf EDP opening with a Myslf Le Parfum drydown. Fresher and stronger bergamot, lasts around 7 hours for me in between EDP and Le Parfum, a great hybrid and honestly does the Myslf DNA better than the two as one.

Spot on, smelled great straight out of the box. I’ve tested myself like 30 times and debated getting it so many times and I’m glad I did not because this is just as good. Same longevity same smell, ugly bottle.

Finally, i found YSL Myslf cheaper version and the longevity is worth for 35$. I recommended it if you like YSL Myslf. For the longevity is enough for me (at least 5 hours on my skin)

I prefer this over the original. I think its overall smoother and well balanced but still 90% similar. Blind buy safe for sure.
