Tiramisu Coco

**update 12/05/24: i don't find this has the best longevity, i'd say within 4 hours it becomes a skin scent. i wish it did last a bit longer and project more, but for under $50, i'm not tripping over it. it may improve over time since it's a very new bottle, but if not, oh well!** disclaimer: i just received this perfume today (11/22/24) and am giving my first impressions, so i'm not able to comment on longevity yet-- this is just a placeholder i will edit later on (i promise!) i just wanted to give more feedback for anyone curious. ♥ on its own: delicious blast of cocoa powder and coffee on the opening-- not dark coffee, a sweet, milky coffee that smells like it has a dusting of cinnamon as well. i also pick up on the biscuit/cookie, which makes this even more dessert like, but it doesn't last very long. as it starts to dry down, i pick up a very strong brown sugar syrup with a touch of vanilla and the warmth of amaretto, which comes across as a boozy slightly cherry note (if you're unfamiliar). once it dries down completely, the cookie note returns, leaving me smelling like cookies, brown sugar, and vanilla. **update: i get the cinnamon too-- this drydown is very similar to paris corner's tiramisu speculoos! basically biscoff/lotus cookie butter** so while this scent does start off coffee forward, it's mostly a very warm, boozy and sweet gourmand that i don't think you have to be a coffee lover to enjoy. as a dupe: this is very close to amore caffe! the main difference is the chocolate and biscuity/cookie (sorry, i'm american lol) notes, which are much more noticeable on my skin than on my clothes. amore caffe smells a bit "richer" and boozier, while tiramisu coco is softer and more gourmand. if you want to smell more edible like i do, this would be my recommendation.

Coco Tiramisu by Zimaya is a fascinating gourmand fragrance that immediately grabs attention with its sweet and intoxicating opening. Although some might compare it to Mancera’s Amore Caffé, for me, it conjures a completely different vibe—more aligned with the rich, boozy cherry sweetness of Tom Ford’s Lost Cherry. The fragrance opens with a luscious burst of cherry liqueur, bold and inviting, and this fruity decadence is softened by a whisper of coffee in the background. The coffee note isn't overpowering but rather adds a gentle bitterness that tempers the syrupy cherry and keeps the scent balanced. It’s almost like enjoying a cherry-topped tiramisu alongside a perfectly brewed espresso. The dry-down is smooth and creamy, maintaining its dessert-like character while softening into a cozy, enveloping sweetness. Coco Tiramisu is warm, indulgent, and playful—ideal for cooler weather or evening wear when you want a scent that feels like a treat. While it may not be a direct dupe of any particular high-end fragrance, it holds its own as a charming and affordable option for lovers of sweet, cherry-infused perfumes. If you’re drawn to gourmand scents with a hint of sophistication, this one deserves a spot in your collection.

Addictive beyond belief! Unique and quality bottle with a hammered copper look and a magnetic cap. Presentation is top notch with a slide out hard cover and velvet cutout. Creamy and hazy warm coffee, boozy almond, chocolate bread, , and a ghost hint of raspberry. Coco pushes hard and its presence is evident even after eight hours. She can get loud with enough sprays. That dark cocoa pushes this masculine, but would be dangerously stunning on a woman. Coco becomes prettier and more edible as time passes. Its evolution is entertaining and keeps your interest all day. If you are a fan of A*men, Pure Malt/Coffee, and Vintage Radio, this will steal your heart for sure. Zimaya has yet to let me down with their quality to price ratio. It’s a situation specific fragrance and not a daily driver, but when you do wear it you’ll make a guaranteed impact as it was constructed for compliments. Now I am compelled to buy Amore Cafe, but for $25, I’m perfectly satisfied at the moment. 9/10 with a strong recommendation to buy.

I like Mancera "Amore Caffe" a lot but at times, I prefer a coffee-centric fragrance with less booziness than Amore Caffe. I blew through a bottle of Orientica "Cafe Arabica," which I adore. But Cafe Arabica is about $85 USD x 100ml. So, I trolled for more affordable coffee fragrances. Zimaya "Tiramisu Coco" opens with a strong chocolate note that quickly merges with a pleasant, milky, coffee accord. The coffee note intensifies in the drown-down. I DO wish the coffee note was stronger; the coffee note is somewhat more pronounced on skin. In short time, the chocolate note wanes and Tiramisu Coco wears as a pleasant, creamy, vanilla-biscuit, coffee gourmand perfume. I LOVE this perfume! And at its current price point? It is a real treasure! Will put this one in time-out for a few months to see if the performance improves and the coffee notes intensify. Love it!

Notes: coffee, deep sour chocolate (like American chocolate with Butyric acid) , boozy amaretto, vanilla biscuit, tony bit lactonic vanilla ice cream Impression: deep, rich, sophisticated gourmand with a slight masculine edge I love gourmands and worry they can come across more youthful/juvenile, fun and cosy, rather than classy. This fragrance is one I would totally wear to a fancy rooftop bar in black heels, if you imagine the vibe. It is unapologetically Middleastern with strong projection and presence. The drydown on my clothes remains for 2 days+ and does not deviate too far from the opening - stays true to the coffee, amaretto and chocolate notes. On the skin, after two soapy showers I can still pick up some brown sugar with a tiny bit of chocolate sourness on my arm. 10/10 in my book. Similar to: Amore Cafe, but less minimalist, more BAM
