At AL Ghaliyah, we take a balanced and intelligent approach to perfumery. Our fragrances are built on a foundation of high-quality natural ingredients, including Oud, Sandalwood, resins, and florals, sourced from the finest distillers and suppliers. However, creating a truly refined and well-balanced perfume requires more than just raw materials—it demands expertise in both natural and modern perfumery techniques.
We work with perfumers who specialize in both artisanal natural compositions and those who master advanced perfumery materials. In some cases, our compositions are built in phases—starting with a natural base crafted by an expert in raw materials, followed by finishing touches from a perfumer skilled in advanced formulation to bring out the full potential of the scent.
For example, Timbersilk is an aroma molecule that enhances natural wood notes like Sandalwood and Cedarwood, giving them more radiance and longevity without overshadowing their depth. Methyl Laitone is another material that can subtly enhance creamy, lactonic facets in compositions featuring Sandalwood or Amber, making the scent feel smoother and more rounded. These elements do not replace natural ingredients—instead, they refine, enhance, and structure them, ensuring a fragrance that is not only rich but also perfectly balanced and long-lasting.
Our philosophy is simple: we believe in crafting fragrances that honor the depth of natural materials while utilizing the best of modern perfumery to achieve elegance, longevity, and refinement.
