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. 

 

Santal Impérial

Santal Imperial was created with a bold ambition: to craft the world’s finest and most quintessential sandalwood fragrance. While most sandalwood perfumes rely on the primary constituent of distilled sandalwood oil, we took a different approach. Those of you familiar with Al Hashimi’ll know they are renowned for producing Santal X, the world’s finest sandalwood extract. With its smooth progression of notes and the deeply meditative calm it inspires in its wearers, Santal X has set a benchmark in sandalwood excellence.

As the most celebrated creation in Al Hashimi’s portfolio, Santal X has consistently garnered glowing reviews from every buyer, making it a fitting foundation for Santal Imperial. To achieve this vision, we poured not only a generous portion of our finest sandalwood reserves but also included the entirety of our coveted Ceylon Santal stock. Complemented by the richness of Orris, the depth of ambergris, and a carefully balanced blend of other exquisite ingredients, Santal Imperial stands as the epitome of elegance.

The result is an unapologetically luxurious sandalwood perfume that redefines sophistication—crafted for those who demand nothing but the best.
