The review
Strong contender. That is where Vigour lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Falkar.
Zimaya sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Falkar's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $36 per 100ml it costs 91% less than Falkar — the 2nd cheapest of 2 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Zimaya publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: nutmeg and cinnamon up top, cypriol oil and olibanum in the middle, agarwood (oud), black musk and saffron underneath — the shape of Bvlgari Falkar.
Top
- nutmeg
- cinnamon
Heart
- cypriol oil
- olibanum
Base
- agarwood (oud)
- black musk
- saffron
Nutmeg and cinnamon giving way to smoky nagarmotha and oud; opulent and deeply resinous.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 4 twins of Bvlgari Falkar we can price, Vigour is number 2 on price per 100ml.

- 02 Zimaya Vigour $36/100ml
