A Fairy Tale
Zimaya · Extrait Oil · 2023
≈ $30 · 100ml · approx. retail
A Fairy Tale opens on a boozy rum-and-cedar accord that mellows into a dried-fruit, patchouli-vanilla heart with dense, long-lasting sillage. It is widely noted as Zimaya's budget take on Kilian's Straight to Heaven, delivering a denser, sweeter version at a fraction of the price.
