About Ghallia Parfums

We chose the name Ghallia Parfums back in 2018 for several reasons that combined to make a compelling case against any other alternative.  

The etymology of Ghallia Parfums is derived from the ancient name of France, which was known as Gallia in Latin, and the tradition of Medieval Arab-Islamic that perfumery crossed over from Al Andalus over the Pyrenees where it found its home in France.  

The most famous perfume genre created in the Arab-Islamic tradition was known as Ghallia. It translates into “very rare and expensive” and is an appropriate noun that reflects the work of two artisans who have dedicated themselves to producing stunning olfactory gems with every release.  You will not find dozens of releases from our perfume house every year and we would rather not release a fragrance if we feel it does not represent the best in class. Instead, we strive to ensure perfection with every unique perfume we create, as it has to live up to the epithet, Ghallia. 

 

Rose De Taif

The Rosa Damascena, often regarded as the King—or perhaps more aptly, the Queen—of Roses, holds an unrivalled place in the world of perfumery. In Middle Eastern culture, where the arts are expressed through functional beauty rather than abstract creations like paintings or sculptures, the craft of scent-making has long been elevated to an art form.

What unites Bulgaria, Turkey, Iran, and Saudi Arabia? These nations produce some of the finest Rosa Damascena in the world. Syria might well have been included in this list if not for the turns of political history. Given the deep cultural enthusiasm in the Middle East for scent as an art form, it is no surprise that the Ottomans and Safavids championed Rosa Damascena as their rose of choice for perfumery. This legacy is evident in the continued cultivation of exceptional roses across these regions, reflecting a shared heritage of olfactory excellence.

However, not all Rosa Damascena is created equal. Regional nuances abound, from the vibrant green variety nurtured in Isparta, Turkey, to the world-renowned blooms of Bulgaria’s Rose Valley. Yet, above all others, the Taif Rose of Saudi Arabia is almost universally celebrated as the pinnacle of Rosa Damascena. Known for its unique lychee-like note, the Taif Rose offers a complexity and dimension that sets it apart from its peers.

For Ghallia, the choice was clear. As a name synonymous with luxury and exclusivity, it was only fitting that our first floral composition should feature this extraordinary and highly sought-after rose. The Taif Rose not only embodies the finest traditions of perfumery but also elevates our fragrance to a level of elegance, befitting its storied origins.
