"‘Ghalia’ traditionally denotes Royalty. Perfume made for kings and caliphs, where no expense is spared. Although I’ve added an Oud Man’s iris-inspired, blue lotus-heavy, drunk-on-too-much-musk twist to this revered tradition, Iris Ghalia lives up to this royal legacy ten times over. No expenses spared, months and months of revision, tweaking, and back to the drawing board, the collectible red full-grain Italian calf hide hand-worked by leather sifu Habib Dingle, and all of Earth’s most precious aromatics, bottled. The savory sweetness of blackcurrant lavished with violet and peach is tempered by desert spices, vintage bakul attar, carnation, and Himalayan costus root. Generous doses of orris butter and iris absolute punctuate each chord that went into the composition, each one uniquely supported by the entire line-up of exalting animal fixatives: deermusk, ambergris, castoreum, civet, hyraceum. Each chord was designed like a movement in a grand symphony, with rare flowers & animalics supporting the irises. But the buttery scent of iris wouldn’t be complete—nor the ghalia concept fully realized—without that rare potion olfactory mavens fight over every year come harvest time: blue water lily (aka blue lotus). Including this age-old narcotic works on so many levels, I’m surprised it’s never been done before. Hook up ancient Egypt’s favorite aphrodisiac with the pheromonal oomph of Siberian deer musk, the royal air of vintage Maroke filarias… and you know what to expect!" - a note from the brand.
