  One of the most exotic scents I’ve ever tried; if you own a bottle, use it for key moments and watch how people begin to respect Ghala. It’s a rose/oud combination that breaks the mould, pure artisanal quality on another level. Jazeel’s owner and nose, Ali Alzaabi, said it took him eighteen months to achieve that balance. It features Oud Kalakasi, a rare variety with proportions unlike the usual, at a high price, which fascinates Aquilaria tree enthusiasts. I don’t know the exact percentage of Kalakasi wood, but I’ve tried Indian, Cape Verdean, and Assam oud, plus blends with five different types, and Ghala remains unique. Furthermore, rose and grey amber dominate the heart; there is so much amber that, alongside the oud and rose, it creates a sour tone which, over time, evolves into something salty, floral, and woody, as if the wood were fermented with Indian oud. Then comes the peak: nothing but frankincense, Oud Kalakasi, and roses. It’s a sensation of lust, status, opulence, and arrogance that makes you feel superior without realising it. The Kalakasi lends a creamy, starchy touch, while the Indian rose absolute and Anatolian rose create a hedonistic scent that captivates everyone. Ghala takes you to unknown places and evokes unimaginable emotions. You don’t even need to apply a note; it’s clear what it makes me feel.
