Siada Nova

Especially now in the summer when everybody is focusing on and buying fresh and aquatic fragrances you can find this gem for an incredible low price, at least I found it for 16 Euros. And after one day of testing I immediately bought a second bottle. Oriental spices in perfect harmony with rich amber, the star of the show luxurious, dry and leathery saffron, patchouli and a mossy woody backbone. Siada Nova has a lot of depth, feels mysterious and alluring, but also gives off a clean and well put together vibe, you basically smell like a million bucks. I wouldn't say it's a safe blind-buy, but the 25+ crowd into Middle Eastern fragrances should definitely check this one out. A beautiful fragrance with very solid performance as well. It's masculine leaning imo, but my otherwise annoyingly picky girlfriend loves it on me AND sometimes wears it herself. The heavy(!) bottle looks beautiful on the shelf and the cap is solid as well; Zimaya did everything right with this one, bravo.

Smells like a super luxurious resort lobby where you just want to take your partner up to the room and rip their clothes off in the sunlight and have your way with each other. It’s a gorgeous, unisex (slightly slightly masc leaning) scent. It’s not that it’s animalic, because it isn’t - it’s actually office safe, IMHO but it smells incredibly sexy while being completely professional. It’s got a warm freshness to it - the cloud of heady saffron with all of the right spices that can be seductive. I know. It’s an oxymoron. But you will get drooled on at work and it may induce clothing removal once you get home to your loved one. Just saying. Just get this. Insanely beautiful fragrance for a few bucks.

I recieved this perfume today and my bottle is fairly new (Oct 2025) so upon spraying it into my arm I was immediately disappointed and under the impression that this might need to sit a while in order to get better. However, as the day went on, I kept smelling this perfume on my arm and it just kept getting better and better. I am now obsessed with it. This fragrance is spicy, fresh and a bit masculine leaning but that's what makes it stand out. I feel like most arabic perfumes have been heavily focusing on gourmand scents recently (strawberry, chocolate, coffee etc.) but this one is something completely out of the box and a refreshing addition to my collection.

A rich blend of Saffron, Spices and Woody notes, lifted by Oakmoss and Ambergris. Beautiful. If you like Saffron, you'll love this. It smells way more expensive than its pricepoint suggests. It reminds me of Prada Luna Rossa Ocean Parfum, which is another decadent Saffron creation blended with Oak. But where that one is fresher, Siada Nova is darker because of the Patchouli and Woods. It smells so much better on skin than on a tester strip. I still need to judge the longevity, but initial sillage and drydown is impressive. I really like this Zimaya inspired-by.

LOVE. A fantastic dupe of Safran secret imo. The only difference, to me, is the longevity. It's not as nuclear as secret, but for the price, I'm fine with just spraying more. The scent profile is not for everyone, but it's for me. It smells almost futuristic. If polished chrome had a scent and it was crisp, sexy, and unique. A statement fragrance that is ideal for evening wear and making an impression. One of my favorites in my collection.
