Ghallia Taifi

Ghallia Taifi is the floral heir to Ghallia Abbasi—cut from the same royal cloth, woven with the same legendary musks, yet crowned with a new queen: 2025 vintage Taif Rose oil, distilled from Al Hashimi’s own hand-picked Taif roses, harvested in peak season from the high plateaus of Arabia’s rose heartland.

This is no ordinary rose oil. It is the very breath of Taif itself—captured, refined, and suspended in a blend that whispers of dawns above the Hijaz and petals kissed by mountain mist. If Ghallia Abbasi was the soul of an empire, Ghallia Taifi is its scent—opulent, fragrant, and unforgettably feminine.

The foundation remains unchanged—majestic, resolute, and uncompromising:

– 1990s vintage Mysore sandalwood, comprising 10% of the oil

– Over 30% rare oud, including Kambodi Katheef III (Koh Kong) and Al Hind (Assam)—masterpieces from the vault

– 15% uncut animalics: raw musk pods, golden ambergris, and Ethiopian civet paste, all pure and undiluted

The musk core is the same revered accord that defines the Ghallia lineage:

– 2012 Siberian musk grains in full reserve

– Benchmark Kashmiri deer musk, soft and floral

– Wild Mongolian grains for a dry, powdery lift

– And the rare 1960s French Tonkin musk extract, still radiant after decades

Added to this are the signature infusions: aged Kashmiri musk steeped in Malaysian oud, and the deep fusion of Himalayan musk in Mysore sandalwood—infused, macerated, and matured in Dubai for years. Together, they form the base of Ghallia Taifi’s animalic and woody nobility.

But it is the rose—this vintage 2025 Al Hashimi Taif—that turns Ghallia Taifi into legend.

Steam-distilled in copper using traditional techniques, the oil expresses the full spectrum of Taif’s magic: cool, silken petals, a tart citrusy-green lift, and at its heart, a resplendent lychee note—juicy, luminous, and arrestingly fresh. This lychee facet is not merely decorative—it pierces through the dense oud and musk with crystalline clarity, creating contrast, movement, and light.

This is not the flat, sugary rose of modern blends. This is true Taifi—alive, breathing, with a sparkling fruit note that elevates the composition into olfactory poetry.

Where Ghallia Zafran was ceremonial, Ghallia Taifi is devotional. It is the prayer of rose-lovers. The culmination of decades of rose obsession. And a testament to what rose oil can be when grown, picked, and distilled without compromise.

Only a few bottles will ever be made—each a perfumed tribute to the rose of Taif, the crown of Arabia, and the legacy of the Ghallia line.

After this, Ghallia Taifi will be reserved for private collections and the VVIP archive. No second harvest. No remake. Just this fleeting bloom—here, now.
