Special Reserve No.6

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. 

 

Special Reserve No.6

Imagine an uber-luxurious attar made from natural aromatics I've been collecting for over 15 years as olfactory heirlooms meant to be passed down as part of an olfactory library.   Now let's imagine it contains no expenses spared and irreplaceable natural aromatics such as an exclusive 1960s Musk extract from Grasse, France, Vintage Deer Musk grains from Kashmir and Siberian deer musk grains bought decades ago and widely acknowledged as one of the finest musks in recent years by the natural perfume cognoscenti. Now go further and imagine that the different constituents in such an attar become subsumed into one another, usually a hallmark of vintage attars, typically 20+ years or older.  Well, you don't have to imagine all this if you are lucky enough to own the Special Reserve No. 2 crafted by Al Hashimi's duo of insane aromatic fanatics.  

The question is, can this be bettered?  How does one improve on perfection?  The answer is that you really cannot. Still, we've decided to use a large amount of the Special Reserve No.2 stock for a derivative batch that we expertly blended with the finest Jasmine Absolute and other world-class signature florals (come on, we can't give all our secrets away!)  We called it Special Reserve No.6 and then added aged ambergris tincture made from a vintage piece of the highest-grade ambergris. We applied some more olfactory magic to create what might become the benchmark for incense and attar-based perfume sprays.
