Ghazali

Maher Elkhaldi

The Ghazali moniker began when I discovered Al Hashimi's SP1, which ignited my desire to explore its potential. Special Reserve No.1 was the first creation, a blend of Sultan's Rose (2008) and Taif Rose (2012), chocolatey deer musk, ambergris, and Assam oud.

This composition is a beautifully balanced marriage of floral richness, the soft barn notes of Al Hind oud, and deep floral and balsamic musk from Kashmir and Siberian deer musk.

The name "Ghazali" came about from a funny misunderstanding. A friend who received an early version of my first Ghazali perfume misread my handwriting and thought I had written "Ghazali" instead of "Ghalia." I kept correcting him until, eventually, I caved and said, "You know what, Ghazali it is." The first version of Ghazali, with its rich mix of saffron, rose, chocolate, and musk, was well received, which inspired me to further explore variations, leading to the expansion of the Ghazali moniker into a series.

At the time of this website release, I have a few attars available for your to choose from--each going a different direction. You will find all blends in the 2nd Ghazali collection.
