An olfactive desire for Traditional & Natural Oud Lovers
If I want to make it precise, Ghala is a real olfactive experience for traditional Oud-Rose lovers who are tired of experiencing regular, synthetic molecules based Oud-Rose combos available in the market. I wouldn't say, it's gonna be a complete departure from what we are used to of, yet it's different enough for me to fall in love at first sniff...
Yes, I'm pointing at it's quality of ingredients and high concentration of the pure parfum. To the best of my humble knowledge and inadequate experience, I have been completely in agreement with the Perfumer or the owner of the house that in Ghala, they've poured nothing but all natural ingredients, at least, to my nose. From the very first spray, It screams the legitimacy of the claim of the Perfumer.
However, Ghala starts with a beautiful deep, sweet, spicy Kalakasi Oud along with Anatolian Rose which is quite sparking and citrusy, a bit lemony I would say. Which is first difference from the traditional Oud-Rose combos to my nose, this is definitely missing in the regular things in the market. The opening last for may be 20-25mins.
After that, it becomes Oud dominating or I may say it's woody facets are unfolded by putting Cedar at work. There's Frankincense is listed but I can't get enough of it, may be suppressed by Oud, but yes, there's a resinous feel in it. Please don't think, Rose is gone here, rather Rose takes the sit just behind the driver (i.e.Oud).
From this phase till final drydown I can't pinpoint when Pachouli and Vetiver comes to the game, but suddenly I feel that something adding sweetness and earthiness to this already mesmerizing composition and making it even more enjoyable. I must not forget to add Pure Indian Oud take the wheel of this olfactive shuttle from here! But don't ever expect, it's anything skanky or barnyard like, it's just so thik, sour-sweet goodness of Pure Indian Oud.
And the journey of evolving aromatherapy stops here by fading away of Rose at this point and the scent settles down slightly sweet, slightly earthy and mostly woody structure of traditional Indian Oud till it's completely gone leaving a intriguing olfactive trail in the mind...
I'm not gonna compare Ghala with anything though, there are some phases in it having similar facets with some Niche or even Artisanal fragnances I have experienced. I'll let it open for others to explore... All in all, Natural Fragrance lovers should at least try it if they want something familiar yet rich and unique...
