Now before this article begins I want to say that Zimaya did not provide us with free samples or fragrances for the purpose of this review. These were originally blind-buys taken from online positive reviews that were purchased through retailers and the scent was so incredible that I felt compelled to shout about it on this very website.
Now Zimaya is a UAE based fragrance house who are delivering affordable fragrance dupes of big branded luxury names and when you think of dupes you think of cheap fragrances that don’t last long on your skin but not with Zimaya.
Zimaya deliver affordable fragrances with top ingredients that smell expensive and last a very long time on your skin. For less than £50 I was able to purchase two signature scents from the Zimaya range including the brand new Sharaf Divine scent.
Both Sharaf Blend and Divine are variations of the infamous Killian Angel Share with the latter being a derivative of Killian Angels Share Paradis.
Both scents smell far more expensive than they are, giving you that polished, movie-star presence without the premium price tag.
Let’s take a look at the individual boxes for each fragrance as the luxury feeling begins long before the scent is sprayed.
The presentation for these fragrances is what you’d expect to find from a luxury brand. The way the case opens (held together by a magnet no less) with the bottles being styled after Whiskey decanters. They’re very classy designs for a price point under £30 each!
Zimaya Sharaf Divine
Sharaf Divine leans smooth, elegant, and refined. From the first spray, it feels rich and well-blended, opening with a bright yet warm sweetness that quickly settles into a creamy, sophisticated heart.
Notes like caramel, vanilla, amber, and a subtle boozy warmth give it a classy, red-carpet feel. It’s the kind of scent that feels tailored, like wearing a sharp suit or stepping into a luxury hotel lobby.
What surprises me the most with Divine is how strong the raspberry notes are instantly catapulting it into a Gourmand scent that is perfect for evenings, dates or anytime you want to elevate your scent game and deliver this luxury powerhouse.
Whilst a little too sweet (for me) in the opening the dry down is incredible and stayed on my skin for a solid 11+ hours.
It is a very special fragrance that has been a powerhouse release for Zimaya in 2025 but for me there’s one scent that smells even more sophisticated than Divine.
The OG.
Zimaya Sharaf Blend
Sharaf Blend for me is the Premier League whereas Divine is a strong Championship team and that’s certainly against the grain as many fragheads prefer Divine.
For me, Sharaf Blend is that tuxedo wearing James Bond elegance whereas Divine is more playful, sensual birthday suit attire.
Blend feels more bolder and more indulgent. It has a rich, gourmand character with warm spices, sweetness, and depth that instantly grabs attention.
It’s boozy and dense and exotic with a spicy edge, it’s commanding and deserves attention much like the person wearing it.
To me it smells like it costs a considerable amount more than Divine but they both offer depth and performance far beyond their price tag.
It’s a confidence boosting scent that would suit any leading man stepping onto the screen.
It’s a red carpet scent in every essence and undeniably luxurious.
Want to smell like a movie star without spending a fortune?
You can’t go far wrong with Zimaya.
