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.

Sampled Safran Secret a couple months and was sad about the price tag, but was delighted to hear about this clone and it's decent price. Not as loud as Secret, but still decent projection with about 8-9hrs on my skin. Smells about 90% of the way for me, so I'm very happy with my purchase--9/10.

Amazing, fabulous, incredible scent. High quality oils. Beast mode longevity and sillage. For me this is better than the OG.

This smells absolutely incredible! What a scent profile !smells very niche and very expensive

Oddly smells like a inky cd or dvd to me in the beginning

I have given this a month on the back shelf as I do with all middle eastern frags. Very few change dramatically because your either going to love it or hate it and no time sitting "Maturing" will change that. You can go from a like to a love though. When I first sprayed it, I LOVED IT. I wanted to gatekeep it. On first spray there is no alcohol smell or something 1 month on the shelf will eliminate. It's a very warm, spicy yet aromatic smell and I get a nice red Pepper note not listed. I am a huge Saffron lover, so I knew at the very least I would like it. It smells just like you took a dip in a chlorine pool, got out and dried yourself off with a towel that was just taken out of the dryer. You then sprayed yourself with just a half spray of "Oud Wood". The notes play so well with each other and the perfumer who blended or created this is a Master. It is literally my 2nd favorite bottle bought this year with only Guerlain l' Homme Ideal Parfum taking my #1 spot. I have purchased over 50 this year with a mix of everything under the sun so please understand I give it this rating with a lot of Good competition. It lasts a good 7-8 hours, which the shelf time has improved from the 4-6 I initially received when I first sprayed it. A 100% blind buy safe, as long as you like Saffron spicy type scents even though this is a lighter spicey. Enjoy!!!!!

This is one of the better Zimaya releases in recent times. The opening is loud and strong but still smooth and not overpowering at all -- the saffron, mossy and woodsy notes combine to create a very warm, mature and masculine scent that's still easily wearable -- in my mind, it smells like an upscale mens grooming store that has a lot of natural oak wood in their interior. Even with the spices and patchouli, it smells very neat and clean cut, and leaves a wonderfully pleasant scent trail.

I have a 100ml bottle for sale, UK only, not my scent DNA, but this is high class. Check out my top shelf for other perfumes I have for sale, lots of discontinued gems!

I used to know someone with a tobacco store, this to me smells 100% like being inside that store. 3 sprays and it will last the entire day on my skin.
