Ghallia Zafran

Ghallia Zafran is the spiritual sister to Ghallia Abbasi—born of the same heritage, composed with the same legendary materials, but elevated through the rarest saffron ever harvested: Super Negin Saffron, hand-selected from Persia’s most coveted fields. This is not simply an attar—it is a perfumed manuscript, inked in gold and musk, and now gilded with strands of red fire that once perfumed the robes of kings.

Where Ghallia Abbasi was the starting note of a chapter, Ghallia Zafran is its echo—reborn, regal, and radiant. Crafted from the same vault of materials reserved for Al Hashimi’s private compositions, it stands as a beacon for what is to come under the forthcoming VVIP Al Hashimi line: unreplicable, unapologetically opulent, and impossibly rare.

At its heart lies the exact musk profile that defined Ghallia Abbasi:

– The full reserve of our 2012 Siberian musk grains,

– Our benchmark Kashmiri deer musk,

– Wild Mongolian grains,

– And the vintage French Tonkin musk extract from the 1960s.

To this we add the signature accord—aged Kashmiri musk infused in Malaysian oud—that powered Santal Misk, and which now forms the soul of Ghallia Zafran as well. Alongside it is the deep resinous blend of Himalayan and Kashmiri musk suspended in Mysore sandalwood, aged and macerated for years in Dubai. These accords are unchanged—and unrivalled.

The foundation remains majestic:

– 1990s Mysore sandalwood, making up 10% of the oil

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

– And 15% of uncut animalics: raw musk pods, ambergris, and Ethiopian civet paste, pure and unfiltered

But it is the saffron that transforms this attar.

Super Negin saffron, freshly ground and infused at peak potency, lends a bright imperial fire to the entire blend. Unlike the usual medicinal or flat saffron profiles, this Persian batch delivers warm, honeyed spice with floral gold at its edges—piercing the musk-heavy base and illuminating it from within.

This is saffron as it was once worn in the perfumed courts of Baghdad and Samarra—extravagant, narcotic, ceremonial.

In Ghallia Zafran, the animalic might of the Abbasi blend is softened, refined and crowned by saffron’s shimmering glory. It becomes not just a statement, but an anointment.

Only a small number of bottles have been prepared—offered now as a final gift to those who understand the meaning of true perfumery. After this, Ghallia Zafran will be sealed under our VVIP identity, never again made available at this level of access.
