Zimaya's 'Musk is Great' captures the creamy, ambroxan-forward character of Initio's original with respectable fidelity in its musky dry-down and peppery opening. The clone performs slightly softer in projection and longevity, with a more subdued heart note development that doesn't quite match the original's aromatic complexity. The base settles into a similar warm, skin-scent territory but lacks some of the refined refinement and staying power expected from the designer version.
The clone exhibits approximately 3-4 hours less longevity and noticeably reduced sillage compared to the original. While the note pyramid aligns closely, the clone's heart notes feel thinner and less nuanced, making it a decent budget alternative for those seeking the musk aesthetic rather than a true dupe.
What people who wear Zimaya Musk is Great report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community.
“This perfume is insanely lasting, I sprayed it yesterday and I can stil smell it a little. It's not great for everyone, some people will hate it. I think it's a great fragrance, very animalic, perfect for layering.EDIT: The longevity of this perfume is unbelivable. I don't understand how other perfumes die down after few hours, but this one, this one last so long it, keeps me wondering how come? How come this perfume lasts so long?”
“Woah. Bought on Mercari and it was halfway used, so I assume it has matured. Well, this is extremely cheap smelling and unrefined. All I get is a blast of cheap spearmint, like aftershave. It’s been 3 hours and I still smell spearmint mainly, and a bit of soapyness, which I wouldn’t mind. This should not even be compared to Musk Therapy.This fragrance is pretty strong in terms of sillage and long lasting on skin. Too bad it smells terribly cheap and screechy. Then again, maybe it’s just my bottle.”
“this perfume is so soft (NOT WEAK, that's different).sprayed 2 times on the left neck and 2 times on the right neck (I mostly sprayed 2 times max for daily use) very OK for self-enjoyment.seems very dry after 1 hour, but I still can sniff the perfume after that.SPL is 7 hours on my skin and 18 hours on my clothes.If you're looking for a perfume with the bast-mode sillage (expecting the compliment), this will not be suitable for you.best suitable for daytime and will not be suitable for the winter / cold situation.”
