- Most reviewers consider it a close match or a slight twist that captures the Acqua di Giò Elixir DNA, though lacking a bit of depth.
- User reactions are divided, with some enjoying its smooth scent and moderate projection, while one strongly disliked it, comparing it to Dior Fahrenheit mixed with the original Acqua di Giò.
Where people agree
“Zimaya Daiman Eclipse (Acqua di Giò Elixir clone)”

- Reviewers agree Daiman captures the Acqua di Gio Elixir profile, noting the opening differs but the drydown gets pretty close.
- Compared to the original, it is described as darker, earthier, and subtly smoky, trading some fresh violet leaf for patchouli, labdanum, and incense.
- Users consider it a very good masculine scent for the price.
“Zimaya - Daiman - people say ADG Elixir but that one had a bit more fresh violet leaf than this one does this one has a decent earthy patchouli note the violet leaf is there but less fresh and darker almost leathery from the labdanum.”
reddit post ↗“To me it's leaning more towards adg elixir with subtle hint of profumo DNA because of that smoky/incense vibe...”
reddit ↗“It definitely does but it's not a one for one in the opening however the dry down is pretty close. Very good masculine for the price.”
